: dangers from tonka bean infusions or tincs??

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I've readen in very good books recipees with tonka eo, for cakes, I know that

it is a very well used secret ingredient for great cakes and pastries in Est

Europa, but I did not tried them...If I'm right, I think that vanilia has

coumarin too, and that what give the flowers the " vanilia like " scent, So, for

me tonka infusions are the kind of things I would try even in cookery, but we

always have to take care with concentration.....and avoid it for people who have

a blood which is too fluid (they should ask before to a medical doctor

specialized in eos)

It is used very commonly for tonka sugars, blanquette veal, potatoes pur�e,

and is a interesting subsitute for vanilia.

In fact is makes blood fluid so it cures some pbs, of course, and can cause

some, it has been used to kill rats.

So it is toxic when we use too much of it, like a lot of eos..... and I read

that the taste is so strong, that cookers never use it too much, it would not be

even good in mouth

Last time I tried in a restaurant in Lyon something gorgeous : an olive oil

infused with cedar eo on a fish cake married himslef with an incredible blue

mayonnaise (perfumed with cura�ao) : simply splendid !!!!!!!

It's time for breakfast in my country :-D
