The Book of Yogurt

no photos but this really is an eclectic international cookbook, all recipes include a small or large amout of yoghurt , huge number of recipes and so varied....super . I got this as a bargain from an amazon reseller secondhand

Love it. The first recipe was extraordinary. A great book to pick up new recipes to incorporate yogurt with, I think, an Eastern European slant. The chicken recipe I made was simple and tasted exquisite. I highly recommend it. A great find

Cuando le echas el primer vistazo, resulta algo decepcionante: la tapa blanda, el tipo de papel, la ausencia total de fotografias...Sin embargo conforme vas leyendo ves que esta bien estructurado, y lleno de recetas muy interesantes agrupadas por categorias. Digamos que es un libro donde se ha cuidado poco la presntacion y mucho mas el contenido. Por el precio que lo compre (algo menos de 8 euros con gastos de envio), me parece muy interesante.

I recently became aware of the health benefits of yogurt first hand, and wanted to incorporate more yogurt into my cooking. I purchased this book with the hopes it would help me learn some dishes that I could prepare during a busy week.The book briefly walks you through making yogurt, but to be honestly google: "making yogurt" provides a few better explanations. On that note, if you plan on using yogurt a lot, I do recommend making your own, it saves a lot of money and is a higher quality product!The recipe section starts off with appetizers and soups. I was a bit terrified right here, as this section reads like an add for Martha Stewart Living... not the type of things I make on a busy week night.Luckily it gets much better fast. After the salad sections I was highlighting recipes every other page, and I got quite a few new ideas from this book. Further, a lot of the meals were simply dishes we already know with yogurt substituted in.I've already prepared "Bulgarian Tossed Green" salad from this book and it turned out delicious. The other recipes I highlighted appear to be equally good.Pro: This book scales both for fancy cooking and "30 minute meals". It contains a lot of interesting recipes. It shows how to substitute yogurt for other dairy in a lot of dishes.Cons: If you're madly in love with American <strike>food</strike>hamburgers and hate other food, this book only contains a few recipes you might like. All measurements are in imperial only, which is annoying for those of us who run our kitchen in metric. Odd measurements are common "3 chicken breasts" "1 quart spinach." Meat portions are very Americanized, and I feel a lot of the dishes have 20-40% too much meat.Overall: Buy if you want a lot of yogurt using recipes. They all looked pretty good, and many of them are practical.Sean
