What substitutes can I use in a recipe if I do not have an ingredient?

Depending on the ingredient, there are many potential substitutes that could be used in the recipe. Common ingredients such as butter and eggs can be replaced with substitutes such as margarine or applesauce. For salty flavors, you could use low-sodium broth, soy sauce, or miso paste. For sweet flavors, you could use honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar. Other alternatives such as cauliflower or zucchini can also be used to replace ingredients such as potatoes.
