If you like yogurt, you have to try this!!!

Now, I told y'all about that Greek yogurt way back on page one! You could have been enjoying it for months now! I've still only tried the fat-free variety. Have you tried any of the others, or the flavored one?

Unfortunately, I tried the full fat one. To my credit, it was desert on a special occasion (or at least I can tell myself it was...)

I'm looking forward to trying the "lighter" ones, as I hear they're still yummy!

Of course, my *usually makes my own yogurt* budget isn't too happy with my recent liking of Greek yogurt. That stuff ain't cheap! Pedal Wench - It's probably a good think I *didn't* note it on the first round....

I can't imagine how decadent the full-fat version is, because (really, I'm not lying) the fat-free tastes rich and full. Seriously, it feels like a real quilty pleasure, it's that good. Try the fat-free, and let me know what you think.

It was all I ate after a surgery that made it hard to chew -- it was so, so good, and I could justify the cost because it was all I was eating.

My ex and I used to get freshly made kefir in the afternoons at a little cafe near his parent's home in Rabat (Morocco.) They would top it with just a drizzle of caramelized sugar for a garnish. It was delish!

my partner made me buy a yogurt maker. I prefer the labor intensive method of warm oven in waterbath. I hate gadgets around the kitchen.

I make it every once in a while and for a starter use unflavored yogurt. It's the closest thing. I too like it puckery sour but my partner wants the sweet stuff.

Maybe time to make another batch some sweet and some sour... I like kefir. but for some strange reason, its hard to get myself to pour a glass of it.

I am looking to buy a yogurt maker- anyone got any recommendations? I had one years ago, and it made 5 small jars of somewhat watery yogurt.

I like the Greek yogurt and never buy the regular plain or fruit yogurts anymore. They are just way too sweet. I bought a 17 oz container of Fage Greek 0% last evening, and it was $5.99!!!!!!!! I think a yogurt maker would pay for itself very quickly.

I checked Amazon and they have a bunch of different ones. Do I need a regular yogurt maker , or a yogurt cheese maker if I want to make the Greek-style yogurt?

This sounds amazing, girls...what is it - is it just an incubator or something more complicated? Do tell...
I am so primitive I am still using 2 (in summer) or 3 (in winter) woollen bush shirts (lumberjack style) wrapped around the saucepan containing the innoculated milk. I also pasteurise my own milk - do you-all have access to raw milk eg urban farm or collective or something?
I was thinking of doing the kefir (when I get the grains) in a thermos coz it will be smaller quantities than the yoghurt

I always liked yogurt or kefir, but here in the US everything is soooo sweet, way to much sugar. Doe's anybody know kefir or yogurt low sugar?

Thanks
