As a huge fan of Greek yogurt, I was anxious to see what this
cookbook had to offer in terms of using Greek yogurt as a substitute ingredient in other recipes. I couldn't have been more pleased as this book give so many more options for yogurt than as a go-to breakfast or snack food.
I loved how the book gave me ideas of how to
substitute Greek yogurt for many higher fat items that I often use in
recipes such as -- butter, cream cheese, oil and even mayonnaise. All
of the recipes in this books use only whole foods which was a pleasant
surprise as well.
There are over 130 recipes, at least 3/4 of them I
would not hesitate to try. There was a lot of variety when it came to
healthy smoothie recipes, and as for comfort foods, my eyes
lit up with a mac and cheese recipe made with Greek yogurt and Panko
bread crumbs. Blueberry/Bran Muffins, Banana/Walnut Muffins and Cobb
Salad with a delicious creamy dill dressing were other awesome recipes that
I plan to try.
The chapters are well organized: Greek Yogurt
Superstar Food; Breakfast; Snacks & Appetizers; Salads, Soups and
Sandwiches; Main Dishes; Side Dishes; Desserts. There is also a metric
conversion chart that I loved. The only negative for me was the lack of
visuals to go along with the recipes:(
