The Book Of Yogurt

Yogurt is one of the world's oldest foods and one of the most nutrious.

This book brings to bear the many cultures that have embraced yogurt with its healthy and delicous use in their cuisine. Yogurt comes in many styles and types, from drinks to cheese. One will find a way to use them all in this book as well as start the thinking process on how to use them in new ways.

How about stuffed kibbeh (finger-sized lamb meatballs) in yogurt sauce? What about curry, cucumber soup, grain salads with yogurt sauce and stuffed zucchini in yogurt sauce? If you want to add a Middle-East or Asian flair to your cooking and are tired of lashing tomato sauce on every baked dish, this is for you.

Yogurt is very versatile and is used world-wide as a sauce or ingredient as you would cream, cheese or milk. Depending on how you make yogurt, it can be creamy, thick like sour cream, thin like buttermilk, sweet or very tart. This book gives you ideas how to make yogurt and then how to incorporate it into all kinds of recipes.

The book goes from soup to desserts, with everything in between and is a very complete cookbook in itself. Recommended.

Good recipes and explanations, ideas and how-to. Good companion to my new yogurt making machine.

The author discusses the history of yogurt, explains how yogurt is made and then provides a wide variety of recipes using yogurt.

The recipes are very easy to follow, use common household ingredients, and turn out great. Every meal has turned out great.

Enjoy.

I am Lactose intolerant, but I love creamy food and need calcium. It had very nice, easy recipes. Expanded my creativity with the homemade yogurt I made. The book is intended for people who are comfortable in the kitchen. It is not a beginner's book because you need to be familiar with cooking terms such as deglaze, julienne, reduce, etc. Some of the food seemed strange to me, mostly middle eastern and eastern european, but I like to try new things and it gave me a guide to how to substitute yogurt for sour cream and mayo in my own recipes.
