The Greek Yogurt Cookbook: Includes Over 125 Delicious, Nutritious Greek Yogurt Recipes

Like everything yogurt.

Haven’ used it yet. Wasn’t really inspired.

I've been looking forward to receiving this book from Lauren Kelly for awhile now, so I was anxious to give some of the recipes a whirl when it finally arrived in my mailbox. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed. As a chef and cookbook writer myself, I've also discovered the joy and benefits of cooking with Greek yogurt. I appreciate the fact that the process used to produce Greek yogurt reduces the amount of milk sugar (lactose) while creating a creamier yogurt that clings easily to the food I'm preparing. With this clearly-written cookbook, Ms. Kelly has expanded my culinary horizons. Using Greek yogurt for the many smoothies that she includes is, of course, a no-brainer, but I particularly enjoyed the creative ways she uses it in her entrees: Beef Stroganoff, Meatloaf, Shrimp & Spinach Pasta, and yes, even Quinoa Stuffed Peppers. Throw in some tasty salads, sides, and a few killer desserts and you'll find yourself stocking up on Greek yogurt every week. I certainly I am.

Greek Yogurt is a super food. If you buy plain it is high in protein, low in fat and low in sugar. It is nice to have a cookbook with some many creative recipes to use Greek yogurt. Great recipes for every meal. As a runner and triathlete, I depend on healthy food to keep me injury free and competitive.Chris WodkeAuthor: Running for My Life-Winning for CMT

Some of the recipes are really easy, and they turned out to be good. I like the ideas for substitutions for healthier choices, as well. Still, several mouth watering recipes include way too much sugar (half a cup of honey; one cup of maple syrup, etc.). Regardless, if you are trying to make yogurt part of your daily meals, this is a useful cookbook.
