Kosher Recipe Swaps

So many recipes online are meat or chicken  based, but call for ingredients like milk,   heavy cream, or cheese. So we asked the OU team  for their tips on the best swaps for kosher   cooking. I make a breading for chicken, a panko  breading with lemon rind and also a parve shaved   Parmesan. It's so good. I know there are a lot  of really good parve oat creamers that work well   in recipes. I use coconut cream a lot in soups  and chicken curry dishes to substitute for cream   or sour cream. Instead of butter, I like to use  coconut oil. When a recipe calls for buttermilk,   what I like to do is use one cup of soy milk and  then one tablespoon of vinegar, mix it together,   and you've got non-dairy buttermilk.  I Made a beef arayes recipe this week,   It had a dip that called for yogurt. I  tried a parve coconut yogurt for this dip,   and it came out absolutely delicious. I  put a little bit of lemon in it just to   take out that coconut taste. My mom's secret  for her lemon cake is non-dairy sour cream.   Nutritional yeast has almost like a Parmesan  flavor. Just make sure when you sprinkle it on,   it still has to cook with it to get that cheesy  taste. But whatever you do, don't put too much or   it'll taste very pasty. Search up what you're  looking for in the OU Kosher product search   to find full lists of OU kosher certified brands  that carry all the swaps you need. Happy cooking.
