Vanilla
Though vanilla is now produced in many parts of the world, did you know that this sweet and earthy bean originated in east-central Mexico? A Chicago Tribune reporter shares a detailed account of her trip to Veracruz in search of one of the oldest vanilla producing companies in this article. The article also links to several recipes using vanilla, including Blackbird's goat cheesecake with vanilla-Meyer lemon marmalade.
