Description:
Back in 1984, Stonyfield held a contest to solicit recipes from yogurt lovers. Out of 800 submissions, 300 recipes were selected and then tested in home kitchens to weed out the terrific dishes from the ill-conceived stinkers. The result, the 1991 Stonyfield Farm Yogurt Cookbook, is back in a handsome paperback edition, and the recipes today are just as good as they were when the book was first published. Just because it's made with yogurt doesn't mean it's healthful, however: with a cup of sugar and two-thirds of a cup of butter, Pecan Orange Coffee Cake isn't exactly health food, so leave that notion at the door. These are recipes from people who like to eat, some of which are more wholesome than others. For those inclined to count calories and fat, the nutrition facts printed for each recipe make the choices simple. Chapters are devoted to breakfasts and brunches, breads, smoothies, fresh fruit and yogurt, dips, spreads, sauces and dressings, soups, salads and side dishes, main dishes, and desserts. With this book on the shelf, you are likely to always keep a quart of yogurt in the refrigerator. And that right there is a step in the right direction. --Schuyler Ingle
