Remember that every day cooking is not an exact science. Don't be afraid to experiment! If you find a recipe that looks interesting but you either don't like or don't have an ingrediant listed, take it out and subsitute something else. Just use your imagination and think.."humm, what do I like that would go good with the other ingrediants"? Let your imagination run wild. Some of my best dishes came out of having to substitute. We all worry about changing recipes but just think what is the worst that could happen???.....the world won't blow up you just have to order takeout!
