Does anyone know what I can substitute for Kaffir lime leaves? I found a recipe for an interesting Kaffir Lime Aioli and I'd love to make it but I don't have a source for the leaves. Do they taste like limes? Will lime zest work in a pinch? -- Donna A pessimist believes all women are bad. An optimist hopes they are.

There's really no substitute. You could use lime zest, that's what most books say, but I don't agree. Kaffir imparts more of an aroma (also essential to overall flavor) than a specific taste. -sw

Donna; I'll swap you some leaves for the recipe. I've got a Kaffir Lime tree in the yard.
