Substitutions

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”—Hippocrates

If you are allergic, don’t like the taste of an ingredient, or can’t have certain ingredients included in this book, here’s a list of suggestions for substitute options:

• Apples and pears are interchangeable. Other options are red grapes, cherries, blackberries, or blueberries.

• Arugula can be replaced by spinach, kale, or watercress.

• Instead of carrots, you can go with sweet potatoes or yams, pumpkin, or parsnip.

• Use basil or parsley in place of cilantro.

• Grapefruit can be replaced with clementines, oranges, tangerines, or blood oranges.
