I've done it again.
I bought a bottle reduced from £2.49 to .49p
Now I need to know what to do with it.
I hate oil dressings on salads so that is out of the question but I was thinking along the lines of making an almond oil pastry to make a frangipan type (like a bakewell tart) in with it.
Or maybe a sweet bread mix with dried fruit
Any one any ideas?
If you find no good use for cooking?! I use it with essential oils, its really good for skin and nails. :)
Hi did a quick search and came up with this link 1,657 recipies :o I like the look of the cookies :P

mummybunny go to the almost top of the class with nearly 2 gold stars.
Just one snag the recipes are either containing almonds or oil. As we do when googling NOTHING for almond oil as an ingredient

Thanks for the cosmetics idea Levi but I am not into that
Where did you find such a good bargain? like Levi I use it for aromatherapy massage mixed with essential oils.

Ooopss ::)
Try this one :) http://www.latartinegourmande.com/2007/08/13/olive-oil-crust-tart/
I also noticed in quite a few links that it stated Almond oil Can be used as a replacement for Olive Oil in cooking because of its similar properties, So maybe a search for recipies using olive oil might come up with something ;D

32 of those recipes do contain almond oil you just need to refine the search.

Almond oil doesn't add a taste of almonds to a dish, it is most frequently used in salad dressings & desserts.
Hello may i ask where you got your bargain oil from.
thank you
Hi Cherryblossom, sorry I can't help with where the oil came from, but welcome to A4A. Tis a great place with lovely people. :)
I would really look into the why's and where fores before consuming any almond oil.
Better safe than sorry. I don't think it is as "edible" as say peanut oil or walnut oil, That's my 2 cents worth, for what it's worth. :-(((( qahtan
almond oil is edible. There is a poison in almonds and peach kernals but it is destroyed in the manufacture of the oil. Perfectly safe to use as an alternative to olive oil for a lighter nuttier flavour.
Have a look at recipezaar. I puy in almond oil in the search and then clicked on almond oil and sweet almond oil and came up with 79 recipes.

Thanks for all those tips I have now got an idea of what to go for.
Duke :- it was mixed in with dented tins and broken packets on a stand in Sainsburys, just the one bottle but we went to Cleveleys and B&M had loads of bigger bottles at 75p each.
Not into aroma therapy personally. But I love the smell of lavender in soap (probably getting old does it).
