Cilantro: All About and How to Choose the Best Substitute

Cilantro: All About and How to Choose the Best Substitute

Ahhh, delicious cilantro. At least, it's delicious to me. Cilantro is the single herb that causes debate and hatred that equals the political arena. Even the famous Julia Child, infallible in so many ways, hated it. It turns out some people might be actually genetically predisposed to hate cilantro! It may be news to some people that 'cilantro' is actually... Read More

All About Parsley and How to Choose the Best Substitute

All About Parsley and How to Choose the Best Substitute

We’ve gone through a lot of ingredients over the last year or so during my “Ingredients: Everything You Need to Know” series- their uses, where they come from, etc. And it’s time to start with the all of the spices you might run across. Let’s get started with parsley!

Salt Substitutes: Conversion Ratios for Types of Salt -and- Salt Alternatives

Salt Substitutes: Conversion Ratios for Types of Salt -and- Salt Alternatives

Funny story time. Back when I knew very little about cooking, I didn't know salts were different. Salt was just salt. I had a brine that called for coarse kosher salt. All I had was regular table salt. Unbeknown to me, they don't substitute one for one. I ended up using about twice as much salt as I was supposed to. It was... Read More

Substitutes for Leavening Agents: Baking Powder, Baking Soda, Yeast, etc.

Substitutes for Leavening Agents: Baking Powder, Baking Soda, Yeast, etc.

Leavening agents are fundamental to the recipes that call for them. You may be able to make chocolate chip cookies without flour (I wouldn’t recommend it…but it’s possible), but you can’t make them without a leavening agent. The importance of leavening is often overlooked. When looking at a recipe with a ton of ingredients, I do have to wonder if… Read More

Cooking 201: Substitutes for Fats: Oils, Butter, Shortening, & more

  Have you ever been in the middle of making a recipe and discovered you were out of something? Or practicing “mise en place” (as we should all do), and found that you’re out of an ingredient? And there isn’t time enough to run to the grocery store? Those are the situations in which we rely on substituting an ingredient…. Read More

Substitutes for Everything Chocolate: Cocoa, Semi-Sweet Chocolate, Baker’s Chocolate, & more

We learned ALL about chocolate a few posts back (see “All About Chocolate” if you missed it). In a perfect world, we would always use the correct, precise ingredient every single time. But in my world (and probably yours), things happen. The store is out, we thought we had it in the cupboard, or it just plain isn’t available in your… Read More

Substitutes for Dairy Products: Milk, Whipping Cream, Heavy Cream, Buttermilk, and more

Substitutes for Dairy Products: Milk, Whipping Cream, Heavy Cream, Buttermilk, and more

It’s been busy around here. At least we have a break before the next holiday! Anyway, I decided it’s time for another “Substitute Sunday.” Well, I guess I’m posting this on Monday. Have you ever had that moment? You’re gathering ingredients at the beginning of  baking something…walk to the cupboard…look in…and then exclaim “I can’t believe I’m out of that…. Read More

Ingredients Matter: Understanding the Many Types of Wheat

Ingredients Matter: Understanding the Many Types of Wheat

Previously I covered the many types of wheat flour, including: all-purpose, self-rising, bread flour, cake flour, pastry flour; as well as the less common ones: gluten flour, semolina flour, spelt flour, bulgur flour, etc. (See the blog post -or- visit the ‘Ingredients’ page.) However, the other day I got an off-the-wall question about the types of wheat. I had no idea of the… Read More

Non-Wheat Flours: Definitions & Substitutions

Non-Wheat Flours: Definitions & Substitutions

I bought a grain grinder when I lived in Charleston. The ducks in our front pond (yes, our apartment complex had a duck pond) ate a lot of less-than-ideal loaves of bread. To this day I wonder how a loaf a bread can come out heavier than the combined weight of its ingredients.  I had a blast finding grains. Except… Read More

Substitute Sundays: Non-sugar Sweeteners

Substitute Sundays: Non-sugar Sweeteners

We all have that moment. Gathering ingredients at the beginning of  baking something (because we always remember mise en place), walking to the cupboard…looking in…and then exclaiming “I can’t believe I’m out of that. I was SURE I had that!” Or planning on trying a new recipe, and realizing you somehow forgot to buy the sour cream (personal experience speaking… Read More
