I don't have this ingredient in my pantry.....

Ok,
several times we decide to cook a recipe, and don't quite check properly if we have all the ingredients (Well, I DONT, as you might imagine).
So what to do?

SUBSTITUTIONS. A lot of the times, the ingredients can be substituted. So here is a basic substitution table.

Arrowroot - substitute with cornstarch, potato starch or rice starch OR even all purpose flour, altought you will need to double the amount 1 measure of arrowroot - 2 measures of flour

Dry breadcrumbs  - substitute with crushed cracker crumbs, matzo meal, crushed cornflakes


Cream of Tartar - substitute with white vinegar or lemon juice 


Sour cream - substitute with plain yogurth, 


Bread Flour - for every 160g of bread flour, use 140g of all purpose flour




I will come back with more substitutions...soon!
Love,


Vic
