A first-of-its-kind cookbook, featuring 40 unique and approachable extract recipes for both brand-new and experienced DIY extract makers.

From VanillaPura founders Paul and Jill Fulton comes a delightful collection of scrupulously tested extract recipes designed to pack maximum flavor and sweetness into a variety of baking and cooking applications. Creating high-quality, high-impact extract is so much more than simply putting beans into booze and waiting. In The Art of Extract Making, the Fultons offer a brief overview of the history of vanilla cultivation, the science of extraction, and the intricacies of different vanilla species and spirit varieties so that at-home extract makers can make the best choices about which ingredients will yield the best results for their desired applications.

From an introductory-level “first vanilla extract” recipe, to more complex blends of cocoa, caramel, and coffee, the book covers a vast range of flavors, even delving into surprising combinations like ginger and peach. With simple recipe steps, detailed taste-testing instructions, and clear guidance on vanilla bean origins and alcohol types to use for each recipe, the hardest part will be waiting for the extract to be ready! The Fultons invite readers to make each recipe their own with the extract-making journal pages included at the end of the book so that personalized, perfect sweetness can be recreated time and time again.

Great book!

I've been wanting this book for awhile. It just came yesterday so I've only looked through it a bit so far. It has tons of great extract recipes I can't wait to try. It's also a very helpful book for beginners who don't have a lot of information yet. So whether you're completely new or venturing out to extracts outside of vanilla, I think it's a great book.

A Flavorful Journey Unveiled

Paul and Jill Fulton's "The Art of Extract Making" goes beyond the basics, unraveling the intricacies of vanilla cultivation, extraction science, and the diverse world of vanilla species and spirits.

Starting with the accessible "first vanilla extract," you'll venture into delightful blends of cocoa, caramel, and coffee, pushing the boundaries with unexpected combinations like ginger and peach. The step-by-step recipes are a breeze to follow, and the taste-testing guidance ensures that each blend is nothing short of perfection.

What truly sets this book apart is its personalized touch. The extract-making journal pages at the end have turned every recipe into my own culinary creation. The anecdotes scattered throughout the book make it feel like you're learning the art of extraction from life-long friends rather than just following recipes.

"The Art of Extract Making" isn't just a book; it's an invitation to explore and craft flavors that resonate with your taste buds. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned extractor, this book is a treasure trove of knowledge. The only challenge? The anticipation as you eagerly await for your customized extracts to reach their peak of deliciousness. Paul and Jill Fulton have created not just a guide but a culinary companion that enhances every kitchen with a touch of homemade magic.

Comprehensive Resource : An Essential for Everyone

If you want to make your own Vanilla Extract, please consider buying this book. It contains the "Golden Ratio" of beans to booze; what type of beans there are in the world and what spirits have had extraordinary results.

It is comprehensive and gives a brief backstory of vanilla, history and what's on the horizon.

I made vanilla extract wrong way for 20+ years ... until I was taught the "Golden Ratio" (Based on FDA Requirements) by VanillaPura and Experts of VanillaPura FaceBook Friends, and the extracts I make now far exceed the quality of those that are commercially available today.

This book is well worth the time and money and is a must have to everyone who wants to make the best vanilla extract. I'm so grateful to all who are dedicated to getting proper and accurate information to all of us, so we can be the best we can be.

Thanks Jill and Paul Fulton ... excellent work and WELL DONE!!!
