My husband is a recovering alcoholic, it has been almost 3 months now since he has had a drink. So many recipes contain alcohol. he is also taking Antabuse tablets, so again have to careful with food.
Any suggetsions to what I can use to replace alcohol when cooking???

Generally when you cook with alcohol, the alcohol is burnt off. Perhaps this would not be problem with his medication. You could always ask for advice about this at your pharmacy. The only time that this might come unstuck is in puddings where the alcohol is not cooked. In this case you can usually substitute the alcohol for citrus juices. I have recipes that have wine in to make a sauce and I leave it out without any problems, I just add a bit of extra stock or water to make up the liquid volume.
Good luck to you and your husband.
