"Tonka beans are one of my favorite flavorings for sweet dishes. The delicious seed is native to South America and though from the outside it may look a little crumpled and dry—this little bean is hiding a whole lot of flavor. It’s the perfect vanilla substitute and, to me, smells and tastes like a mixture of woodruff and marzipan. It can be used in many ways, e.g. in sweet dishes such as ice cream, pudding, cakes or even, used sparingly, with seafood or vegetables like tomatoes and kohlrabi—a little insider tip for you!"
