The cost of real vanilla is frightening now though ~£6 for two pods in most supermarkets so that might slow me down a bit... although the price is understandable when I discovered it comes from an orchid that flowers for one day a year and has to be precariously hand pollinated then takes another year to grow.
I’ve got a roasted pistachio with pistachio brittle on the go with a rubarb sorbet planned for Sunday.
