No need to put almond extract into your cooking oil. Almond oil, aka
sweet almond oil, is very "mild" and doesn't have a strong flavor,
unlike a good olive oil has a very pronounced flavor. Sweet almond
oil doesn't taste like bitter almond, which is the common "almond
flavor". So I'd say, if you have no almond oil, use a light vegetable
oil of some sort (not peanut, for example, as it too has a pronounced
flavor). But you can find sweet almond oil at health food stores
where the other cooking and salad oils are, so you might give it a
try.
