Americans have fallen in love with yogurt, thanks to its creamy texture,
tangy flavor, and health-promoting probiotic cultures. In Yogurt, a fresh
and modern full-color cookbook, author Janet Fletcher demonstrates
the versatility of this dairy superstar in more than fifty recipes for
appetizers, salads, soups, beverages, and desserts. From roasted tomato
bruschetta with yogurt cheese to meatballs in a warm yogurt sauce to a
golden yogurt cake, these recipes showcase yogurt in dishes both rustic
and sophisticated. Drawing inspiration from the culinary traditions of
Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, India, and beyond, this useful
handbook includes a guide to purchasing yogurt (all of the recipes work
with quality store-bought brands), advice on choosing a yogurt maker,
and easy methods for making yogurt, Greek yogurt, and yogurt cheese
at home.
