The Taste of WhiteThis page is a celebration of the white tastes - vanilla, dairy, cheese cake, not to mention eggnog and white wine! No, we're not going to tell you to only eat white, as some white foods, like white sugar and white flour, might not be good for you in large quantities, and, of course, natural foods come in many colors.
Vanilla refers to a genus of orchid or the flavoring, in its pure form known as vanillin, derived from that orchid. One major use of vanilla is in flavoring ice cream: the most common, and thus "default", flavor of ice cream is vanilla, and the soft white color of this icecream is referred to as 'vanilla white' or simply 'vanilla'. Cheesecake is a dessert which is either made of, or has a soft topping of, cottage or more usually cream cheese, sugar and sometimes other ingredients such as eggs, cream and fruit, on a biscuit or pastry base. Various other flavorings may be added, such as vanilla or chocolate, and a fruit topping is frequently added. Cheesecakes vary in style from moist and light to dense and somewhat dry. Cheesecakes are made in both baked and cooked versions, with baked cheesecakes being more cake-like. White wine: Wine is an alcoholic beverage typically made by fermentation of grapes. The color of wine is determined by the presence or absence of the grape skin during fermentation, since most wine grapes have clear juice. White wine can be made from any color of grape, but the skin is not left in during fermentation. White cocktails are typically made with milk, cream, or even vanilla icecream. A clear, colorless cocktail may also be referred to as 'white'. Links to recipes for some of the more famous white cocktails follow.
