Cooking sherry is vile. One taste would convince you. :-) Barbara's
right. Buy an inexpensive drinking sherry to cook with.

Personally, I prefer substituting Sercial Madeira for sherry in most
recipes. It's a rather dry madeira and perfect for cooking. For sipping,
I prefer a Malmsey Madeira. It is sweeter and has a rather complex flavor.

This substitution is strictly a matter of personal taste.
