I do have others that are a bit more luxurious and can be adapted to avoid alcohol. And, as I said, even in the alcoholic versions, there is very little; it's there primarily for flavor and richness.

BTW, do you avoid all alcohol--even foods where the alcohol is cooked down (e.g., coq au vin) or as with Cognac it is burned off? If this is not too personal a question, is this teetotal lifestyle a matter of conviction, health, or simply seeing too many people making damned fools of themselves?

I ask because with alcoholism on both sides of my family, I tend to be very careful, since I very much enjoy fine wines (I am a founder of a wine-tasting group and started a wine thread here on SI) and single-malts. With my family history, I had damned well better be careful if I want to be able to enjoy them!
