Vanilla is extracted from the beans contained in the seed pod of Vanilla Orchids.

Vanilla planifola, Vanilla tahensis, and Vanilla pompona are the three major variants and are grown around the world in Madagascar, Reunion, etc (Bourbon Islands), Tahiti & other South Pacific Islands, ans Central/South America, respectively.

Most recipes call for 2-3 split vanilla beans added to a cup of liquor (vodka, brandy or light rum are commonly used)

What is the difference between imitation vanilla and vanilla extract as it pertains to recipes?

There is no quantitative difference. They can be substituted on a one-to-one basis. Imitation vanilla is manufactured either from clove oil (eugenol) or as a breakdown product of lignin from a conifer (e.g., spruce, Picea). Pure vanilla chemically has over 200 elemental chemicals that give it its taste and smell, and it is impossible to mimic this 100% today. The main compound that gives real vanilla its taste is called vanillin. Madagascan vanilla has 3 times as much vanillin concentration (and therefore taste) compared to its nearest competition the Mexican Bourbon variety, and this is why it has such a reputation.
