Yogurt: Sweet and Savory Recipes for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner [A Cookbook]

I make my own yoghurt and have eaten it with preserves stirred in have added it to cakes...what else can I use it for? Now I know! This book doesn't have ever single recipe I'd like to have, but it sure does have more than enough to last me a good while. The explanations (ie Greek vs regular) and all are helpful too - even though I already make my own I may try other ways to do it.

I ordered this book specifically for yogurt soups. Very easy to follow and the results are I had hoped they would be.

This collection is based on refreshingly authentic traditional yogurt dishes. With my Cuisinart yogurt maker culture from Culture for Health we have really upped our dining!

I expected more illustrations and less formality

Yogurt is one of my absolute favorite ingredients. Living in a dorm, it's a fast go-to food to always keep on hand, and it's something familiar to me as I grew up eating Greek yogurt and honey. When I saw that this book used yogurt in every recipe for both sweet and savory, I couldn't resist. And I'm glad I didn't; this is a really useful collection of dishes.It starts off with a really interesting pre-recipe introduction section that includes how to pick (and separate) the different kinds of yogurt, a brief history of the ingredient, the science behind it, as well as the health benefits of consuming yogurt. There's also a really neat guide on how to make your own yogurt with clear, step-by-step instructions on how to do so. There's also a really handy list of what fruits are readily available in what month, so that you can easily pair fruit with your yogurt at anytime of the year. At the end of the book, there's also a list of references and bibliographies for those who are interested in finding out more.The recipes in this book are sorted by course, complete with a chapter for beverages which is something that I hadn't even thought of. I thought that was a really nice addition to the collection. There's a really nice mix of sweet and savory recipes which is good, because even though I love yogurt based sauces and the like, I don't usually think of yogurt as a savory ingredient. This book is very vegetarian friendly, but there are also dishes for meat eaters, which was also a happy surprise. The author offers good tips for how to substitute and change recipes according to availability and tastes.There's a lot of international dishes here which works well to show just how versatile of an ingredient yogurt is. The photographs that are included are very pretty and professional, but I wish there were more pictures of the finished dishes as opposed to aesthetically pleasing but mostly artsy photographs. I like being able to see how on par I am when I complete a recipe.Some of the recipes that I'm most excited to cook in my own kitchen include Lamb Meatballs in Warm Yogurt Sauce with Sizzling Red Pepper Butter, Grilled Swordfish with Yogurt Tahini Sauce and Sumac, and Indian Yogurt Pudding with Saffron, Cardamom, and Toasted Nuts.I recommend this to those who want international flair brought to their yogurt dining experience, as well as those in mixed vegetarian-meat eating house holds. This book is good for beginners and seasoned cooks alike.I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

I've never been a big baker but the cake recipe alone is worth the purchase. Everything I've made so far has been great.
