In response to the question about cream vs heavy cream:

half and half = light cream
whipping cream = heavy cream

One note--whipping cream is hardly ever 100% pure cream.  It has gelatin and/or
other additives to improve whipping.

Unless the cream is to be whipped, I use half and half if the recipe just
says "cream".  Sometimes, if I am worried about calories, I even use milk
but the flavor and consistency won't be the same.
