I am planning to cook several dishes and I only have olive oil on hand, while the recipe calls for vegetable oil. I don't know how appropriate this is. Can olive oil replace vegetable oil in all recipes, and will the taste of the dish not change?

Hi, yes I want to say that can olive oil substitute vegetable oil in many recipes, but there are a few caveats to keep in mind. Olive oil has a more pronounced flavor, which can change the end result. If you’re cooking something where the flavor of the oil isn’t important, like baking, then the substitution may be fine. However, when it comes to frying and salads, olive oil will add a unique flavor to the dish. Olive oil also contains more healthy fats and antioxidants, making it a healthier choice.
