Hi najima, both are leavening agents which cause baked goods to rise where baking powder begins to react when heated and baking soda begins to react immediately. Baking powder is a mixture of bicarb of soda and cream of tartar, so no you should not substitue the one for the other. Cheers for now G

Hi there.
I am all amped to make this choc chip recipe, went out and bought some oats and then realized that the recipe requires oatmeal. I am having a blank about whether that is the same thing or something completely different.
Please let me know. (A.S.A.P)
Thanks.
Helena

Graham,

I really love this website. I discovered it recently and have tried a few of the recipes and they were al really delicious.

I just want to find something out, although I really love cooking I’m still new to it all, so I hope this is not a stupid question.

What is the difference between baking soda and baking powder?
