Une gousse de vanille bourbon

My search for raw vanilla extract lead me to a package of 2 vanilla pods. They are organic, from La Patelière, and I bought them at Auchan. A most amazing discovery! I grated a bit of the pod into the almond cream last night, and the deliciously sweet heavenly aroma is still floating in my kitchen. These are absolutely divine. If you have never prepared food with vanilla in its raw form, I highly recommend it. The package directions state you can also dunk the pod in the food you are preparing and the aroma will mix with the ingredients. Quel bonheur!
