Vanilla sugar

   It is very easy to make vanilla sugar at home. All you need is just one vanilla bean, sugar and some time. You could use this vanilla sugar in all kind of bakes or in tea or coffee. So to make vanilla sugar you will need:

• 450 g of sugar;
• 1 vanilla bean.

   Cut vanilla bean in half, scrape all seeds and add them to sugar with vanilla bean itself. Mix sugar with vanilla seeds and bean a bit to combine well and leave vanilla sugar for two weeks. After two weeks you will have wonderful vanilla sugar.

   Enjoy!

Chili oil

 Chili oil is used in asian cuisine. However we like it so much, that we use it almost every day. Chili oil is spicy and tasty and it is very easy to make. You will need:

• 15 small dried chili;
• 150 ml oil (I used extra virgin olive oil).

 Blend dried chili peppers in a blender till they are as small as sesame seeds.

 Then heat up oil till it starts to smoke and remove from heat. Drop all chili flakes in the oil and wait till oil colds.

 When oil is cold, strain all chili flakes and reserve chili oil in bottle.

 Thats it. Use it with rice, salads, pasta and all dishes when you want some spicy taste. Enjoy!
