Your help please: ingredient substitutions

[Alice Henneman]

Hi Everyone,

I'm working on an article for the February issue of Food Reflections E-mail 
newsletter (http://www.ianr.unl.edu/ianr/lanco/family/FoodTalk.htm) about 
ingredient substitutions. The goal is to help people who want to cook but 
are too time-stressed to run to the store for another ingredient or who 
don't want to buy a whole can or box of something for just a teaspoon or 
tablespoon of an item.

I'd like to offer several common substitutions (self-rising flour/regular 
flour, fresh/dried herbs, etc.)

Plus, I'd like to let people know about various sites on the Internet that 
offer suggestions for ingredient substitutions.

Your help would be appreciated as to:

(1) the type of ingredient substitution information that you feel people 
would find most helpful AND/OR

(2) Internet sites that would provide people with useful information about 
substitutes for ingredients.

(Additional Note: For those on the FOOD REFLECTIONS subscription list, the 
January issue will be e-mailed early  -- sometime next week -- so you can 
get a headstart in using the information before your holiday vacations. The 
issue will focus on research done at Penn State that supports how following 
a meal plan consistent with the Food Guide Pyramid can aid in weight 
management. I'll also post the article on my Web site next week.)

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me!

Alice
