Is there a nonalcoholic replacement for cooking sherry?

You bet! There are several non-alcoholic replacements for cooking sherry that can bring a similar flavor to your dishes:

Best Options:

* Dry white wine vinegar: This is a close substitute for sherry's acidity and tang. Use it in a 1:1 ratio.

* White grape juice: This offers a sweeter alternative, good for dishes that benefit from a hint of sweetness. Use it in a 1:1 ratio.

* Chicken broth: This provides a savory base and works well in stews, sauces, and risottos. You might need to adjust seasoning as it's less acidic than sherry.

* Apple cider vinegar: A good option for dishes that can handle a bit more sweetness and a slightly fruity tang. Use it in a 1:1 ratio.

Other Options (Use sparingly):

* Sherry vinegar: This is a bit more intense, but can be used in small amounts for flavor.

* Lemon juice: Offers brightness and acidity, but won't replicate sherry's complexity.

Important Note:

* Flavor Enhancement: These substitutes won't completely mimic the unique flavor profile of sherry. You might need to adjust other seasonings in your recipe to achieve the desired taste.

* Alcohol Content: Remember that even "cooking sherry" can contain alcohol. While it generally cooks off, some people prefer to avoid it entirely. These non-alcoholic substitutes are the way to go!
