Where can I find cocnut essence...apart from reading about it in quite a few recipes of course. Thought Moirs does it but no luck. Amy info?

Must admit I have not seen coconut essence on the shelves. But maybe try an Indian spice shop. They tend to keep a variety of essences you won't normally find on supermarket shelves

Cool. Must try and get hold of some myself. Tend to stick to vanilla, lemon, almond and rose. And trying out peppermint next weekend.

I found this really cool recipe in a mag and decided to try it, but was temporarily stumped by the coconut essence saga. Apparantly you get all these vlavours as oils too. Better flavor as it is the true product. Most essences ( sic.) are purely chemical. E.g. vanilla essence...what a insult to cooking and food in general. I wonder if we all could start a Food Forum on here...?

There was a food/recipe thread stickied at some stage. But seems to be gone now.

I've tried the different forms of vanilla without much joy. Eventually had a pal from Mauritius post me some pods. Amazing! And defo not the kind you can buy on our supermarket shelves

Reminds me. I've got some home-made vanilla sugar that will shortly need trying out

So the SO is looking for Coconut essence. And the interwebs only has some company in CT selling it. Anyone have a clue of where I can get some in KZN?
