Just as we at Vanilla From Tahiti select our vanilla bean pods with care, we recognize that seasoned chefs choose only the finest ingredients when making their dishes. Whether you own a pastry shop or cook for family and friends, finding a reliable source of recipes and advice is a must. 

This month we’ve reviewed the top 4 dessert magazines that we believe to be a wealth of knowledge on the subject of cooking recipes.  These magazines offer fantastic recipes and creative ideas when it comes to using Tahitian vanilla extract in your dessert dishes.  Put your pure vanilla bean extract or vanilla powder to work with recipes recommended by these pros.  We’ve chosen sites that offer advice on technique, how to incorporate local ingredients into your menu, and photo galleries to inspire you. The websites we’ve listed have volumes of information; you can subscribe to the print versions of the magazines, become a member of the dessert social network, or just browse around for ideas. With our pure vanilla extract and their creative recipes, your desserts will be a smashing success.

Edible Santa Barbara

Published quarterly, Edible Santa Barbara celebrates the food and wine produced in Santa Barbara County. The magazine features seasonal and locally grown foods, and shines a spotlight on the people who grow and prepare the finest food and wine in Santa Barbara. By being a “locavore” (that is, eating locally and seasonally), the idea is to eat fresher foods and to reduce the cost of shipping foods over long distances. The Edible website includes an informative blog detailing local food movements, seasonal treats, and reviews of local restaurants and patisseries. You may join the “Supper Club” and gather with other readers and magazine staff for dinner at a local restaurant once each season. If you’ve ever wanted to find out more about Santa Barbara’s local cuisine and rare delicacies, this magazine is a good place to start. Edible Santa Barbara is a beautiful, full-color tribute to the food and foodies in Santa Barbara County. It’s available around town at select venues, but you may also order it from their website at www.ediblecommunities.com/santabarbara.
