The substitution chart is also worthwhile and serves as an amazing tool for anyone less likely to have one building block on hand than another. Recipes run the gamut from snacks to dessert and include all of the bells and whistles that ATK fans have come to expect. Pantry improv tips give guidance for using what one has or changing up flavors. Recipes are mainly retreads but the “cooking with what you have” focus will have home chefs discovering new dishes.
