Yogurt by Janet Fletcher

A fresh, modern yogurt-centric cookbook that showcases the versatility of this dairy superstar in 50 recipes for appetizers, salads, soups, sauces, marinades, beverages, and desserts, and provides fail-proof directions for making your own yogurt at home.
  
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. Fromroasted tomato bruschetta with yogurt cheese tomeatballs 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.

My thoughts: I enjoy making my own yogurt, so I was thrilled to get this cookbook in the mail! While some of the recipes are fairly simple (fruit smoothies, like those I grew up eith), there are also a lot of fun and inventive recipes that I would of never thought of. I especially like how the recipes incorporate a lot of herbs and vegetables that one can either easily grow or find at a local farmers market. That is always a huge plus in my book! :-)
I received this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for my honest review.

L`s reviews

So, I thought that my cousin (L.) would have to write reviews in order to participate in the summer reading program at the library. Come to find out, I was wrong. Oops! 
In order to make it up to her, I thought I would post them here!
Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase was a great book. I liked how in the beginning it started as two mysteries and in the end joined together.
One mystery is Nancy`s father goes missing. The other is Nancy`s friend, Helen, Aunt Rosemary and grandmother, Miss Flora`s, house is haunted.
Jo`s Story is a cool book. Even though she jumped to conclusions, Jo did some thoughtful things.
Jo did many things she disliked out of love for her sisters.
In the end, it turned out to be a nice story.
