Cooking and baking substitutes

We created a list of substitutes for South African products.
This list has been growing quite a bit so we created pages for the following categories:

• Baking Ingredients,
• Dairy products,
• Types of Sugar,
• Hot and cold drinks
• Meat cuts and Seafood,
• Frozen products and
• other items

These pages can also be found in the drop down menu under “For the Foodies”

You can use the search function to search for ingredients you need to find substitutes for. One of the things to keep in mind is that the baking powder in Germany is single acting. The baking powder is South Africa is double acting. Bran is called die Kleie and can be bought in supermarkets.
