Instead of using real cream in a recipe - use 1% milk and then thicked with a Tbsp of constarch mixed with a little water. It works fine , makes good sauces that are not fat laden. Do they taste exactly the same - of course not , but are still very good.

Tonight I am making a sauce for chicken corden blue that normally calls for cream, mustard and parmesan cheese but my version will be milk , cornstarch & water to thicken, mustard and parmesan. Warm up to melt cheese and allow the cornstarch to thicken the sauce.

I can edit heading from my post. Can't edit your top heading though.

That does seem odd. Maybe they thought it was being public-minded, that by broadening the topic, it would attract more views and contributions.

Like a substitute for baking powder, which does go out of date annoyingly quickly if you don't bake much--a 1 to 2 ratio of baking SODA to cream of tartar.

For the equivalent of 1 teaspoon of baking powder,  combine

- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda with

- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar.

By todays silly standards the word fat was probably demeaning to some people.

           @151949,  The moderators didn't edit your title.   When we create a thread, unless we turn "suggestions" off  we'll see suggested topics when we're typing in the subject of our thread.   The system seems to try very hard to plug one of those in instead of our new subject.   There's another thread with the identical title,  it was offered as a suggestion and you inadvertently clicked on that instead of the one you typed in.    Sometimes the suggested topics make sense, other times not so much, but it's easy to click on them without realizing until later.

         If you don't like the title as is, just go to your original post, click the 3 dots to edit it, and change the title.

(Here's the older thread with the identical subject:   "Chefs' tips & tricks for cooks & bakers" at link: https://community.qvc.com/t5/Kitchen/Chefs-tips-amp-tricks-for-cooks-amp-bakers/m-p/3142104#M130426)

@dooBdoo solved the mystery! And the original "Chef's tips" thread has terrific ideas. Go see, the link is given in dooBdoo's post.
