Vanilla is the most beloved flavor and fragrance worldwide and is grown on the equator, including the Tropic of Capricorn and Tropic of Cancer. It’s the second most expensive ingredient in the world, second to saffron. Out of 25,000 varieties of orchids, vanilla comes from the only orchid that fruits, and saffron comes from a crocus; both of these incredible ingredients come from beautiful flowers.

The Hawai’ian Vanilla Cookbook shares the incredible applications of vanilla in Southwestern, Hawai’ian and European fusions, proving that vanilla is not just for sweets anymore!
