What is the difference between cream sherry and dry sherry?
Recipes call for sherry and they don't specify which type. I would think that crem sherry would be sweet and for creamy recipes.
Answers:
Cream sherry is sweet, dry sherry is not sweet. For recipes, unless you want sweetness in the recipe, stick with the dry sherry. You get the sherry flavor without any added sweetness.
Honestly, it depends on your recipe. There is also cooking sherry which is salted.
Bear in mind that there is no cream in 'cream sherry' - the "cream" only means sweet.
one is creamy the other one is dry
