The Food Geek: Easiest, Least Expensive Way to Make Your Coffee Taste Better

    What about vanilla? Doesn't it serve the same purpose in baked goods? Does it work the same way?

    Nope. Vanilla is actually a flavorant, with its own complex lifestyle and ways of interacting. One of the ideas behind MSG is that it does the flavor amplification, but it doesn't really, either. MSG is kind of a shorthand for umami, which is related to mouth-feel.
