Substitute finder
Two directions, one tool. Out of something? See what replaces it and the ratio to start from. Stuck with one jar? See what it can stand in for. No swap is exact, so each one tells you how the flavor will shift.
Out of cumin? Use:
| Use instead | Ratio | How it differs |
|---|---|---|
| Ground coriander | 1:1 | citrusy and sweeter, loses the earthy musk |
| caraway seed | use about half | sharper and more aniseed, less warm |
No substitute is exact. Ratios are a starting point. Taste and adjust.
