Everyone has been in this predicament: you’re at home, with no time (or desire) for a trip to the store-but the recipe you’re using calls for an ingredient you don’t happen to have on hand. With this book, you’ll have a solution: substitute. In Substituting Ingredients, author Becky Sue Epstein has collected more than 1,000 easy-to-find, healthy, and cheap substitutions.
You’ll find:
– Substitutions for difficult to find items and common items you may not have on hand
– Green, nontoxic household cleaner solutions
– Less expensive ingredient options
– The best ways to measure fruits and vegetables for recipes
– Simple recipes for condiments, sauces, marinades, and spice mixtures
– Strategies to remedy too much or too little of an ingredient
“With this paperback on the shelf there’s no need for mad, midrecipe dashes to the grocery store.”
