Previously, I've told you about the purposes of putting alcohol in your cooking, how to know if alcohol burns off when cooked and how to cook without alcohol.

Here are some suggestions for substitutes for various alcoholic ingredients in your recipes. Remember, if you substutute, you will not get exactly the same result, but it should be close enough.

Amaretto ............ Italian almond-flavored .... almond extract

Brandy ............. liqueur ................................ corresponding fruit juice
Cointreau ........... orange-flavored ................. orange juice
