Baking substitutions

[tedandjane]

I'm constantly on the look out for interesting baking substitutes for students in the school where I teach. I've heard about some great ones, including using sawdust instead of flour, how good's that?! I found a good website here: baking-substitutions.info10.co.uk.

What about using "low fat" and "fat free" substitutions when baking or cooking? Has anyone tried the 1/3 less fat Philadelphia cream cheese at all? It's just as rich as the regular one.
