I want to thank you all my friends!

Here is the one who won Miranda's Vanilla!

It was great fun and challange to compete with Chef Shari and Cate. I want to thank them for the joy, too.

I of course thank to the contest host, Miranda, and sponsore of the contest, Steve, owner of the Boston Vanilla Bean Company.

I had share that "Milk with vanilla, cinnamon and bitter chocolate" recipe in my Turkish blog many months before the contest. So I will share it which in fact you all know very well here too.

But when?

As soon as the vanilla scented package arrives to Istanbul!

I'd also would love to try other recipes of the contest: Tarte Tatin with Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream, and Vanilla Chai & Lavender infused Rice Pudding if owners may let.

Thank you all again!
