Yogurt is one of my daily essentials. Especially Greek yogurt! That's why I am so excited when I was sent a copy of Yogurt Every Day by Hubert Cormier. Yogurt itself is awesome. It is great for your gut health with its probiotic properties. Yogurt isn't just a breakfast item - I can eat it breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Yogurt Every Day cookbook includes 75 delicious recipes. It even teaches you to make your own yogurt (dairy and plant-based) at home! For now I will stick to store bought Greek yogurt...
Contents
- Quick history of yogurt - it's always fascinating learning about history. It dates back to 2000BC in Persia and India where yogurt was used as a preservative for milk.
- Health benefits of yogurt - proteins, fats and substitutes.
- How to make you own yogurt - without a yogurt maker, with a slow cooker
- Recipes - breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and desserts. This includes dips and spreads.
