and today the Yogourmet starter, yogurt cheese maker & The Book of Yogurt came!
I made my first batch yesterday using Stoneyfield plain yogurt for the starter and organic soymilk. It was kinda thin but tasty and edible. I strained it overnight and had some nice yogurt cheese this morning along with homemade granola (also made for the first time!) and local honey. It was delicious. My whole family has eaten this first quart batch already.
This morning I decided to make another batch using 3C whole milk and 1C half and half for a more dessert type yogurt. It's been cooking for almost 8 hours now and I tested it a little while ago and YUM! I'm going to leave it in for 10-12 hours to see how thick it gets. Can't wait to have a bowl later on tonight and more yogurt cheese tomorrow.
I bought the yogourmet starter because in a review I read on line one woman wrote that her husband used to travel all over Europe and this starter was the closest they could find that gave the most similiar taste and texture to the European yogurt. As a child I lived in Germany and still crave the strawberry yogurt of my childhood. I'm hoping making a batch with whole milk and adding strawberry jam will give it back to me
Does anyone have any "tried and true" yogurt recipes they'd like to share?
Does anyone know of any yogurt forums out there?
(just so darn excited to finally have a yogurt maker
