What to do during the coronavirus pandemic if you don\u2019t have all the ingredients in a recipe.\u00a0 Shopping and cooking these days is requiring a lot more creativity. Whether you\u2019re staring at picked-over grocery store shelves, making the best of what your food delivery brought you, or trying to cook with just what\u2019s in your pantry, odds are you may not have every ingredient a recipe calls for. Learning to adapt to and accept that will not only serve you well during the challenging times we\u2019re faced with right now, but also any other time you step into the kitchen.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou do have to be open right away to changing, and I think people are these days,\u201d says cookbook author David Joachim, who literally wrote the book on food substitutions,\u00a0The Food Substitutions Bible<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Joachim suggests a three-step process to think about making substitutions.<\/p>\n

1. Assess the situation.\u00a0<\/b>What ingredient are you missing? What family does that live in? Do you have anything similar? If for example, it\u2019s milk, do you have other dairy products? Plant-based milks?<\/p>\n

2. Think about the function of the ingredient.\u00a0<\/b>Is it there for flavor or garnish? Is it a main ingredient, or a supporting player? Will not having it<\/p>\n

3. Make a choice.<\/b> Decide what will work best (best doesn\u2019t always mean exactly the same or perfect) \u2014 and don\u2019t necessarily look back. \u201cSome people think that substitutes are magical and that one ingredient equals another,\u201d Joachim says. \u201cThe results will be\u00a0 a little different.\u201d<\/p>\n
