karen is right, when u cook with alcohol doesnt mean u can get tipsy or anything else, its just used as a flavouring, the alcohol burns away in the cooking process!!! so if u still not happy with that then just leave it out! kim.

Jenny not sure about the alcohol free stuff but what is the reason you can't use alcohol?? Is it because it might be unsafe to be left around the premises or because they are not allowed to drink. As when you cook most or all of the alcohol is evaporated and will only leave a flavour not an alcoholic content. Try using grape juice rather than alcohol free wine as this does have quite an bitter aftertaste.
