Recipes I use Anise in: Pho, Tho Kha, any kind of sugar cookie, Chili (not always, but good with certain chilies), Tea (especially cinnamon teas, Glogg (Mulled wine - HUGE hit in the winter), spiced apples or pears, pickled or fermented punch or ginger bug sodas, Ice Cream (fantastic addition to spiced flavors like Cinnamon or Ginger).

In general, of you see a need to use Cinnamon or Ginger in something, chances are Anise can be dropped in to compliment it.
