Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / yogurt flavouring?
« on: June 10, 2014, 10:04:29 am »
So i just made my first yogurt, but all the recipes I've found so far say to add vanilla and sugar at the start, not the end.
How can I best flavour my raw yogurt?  I have berries, vanilla paste and honey - I was thinking just plain vanilla, but ... help!

Hmmm so I made this with fresh ginger, but now that I've tasted it (hot from the thermie!) it's got a definate ginger kick!

Sooooo .... what's the difference between fresh ginger, stem ginger, and stem ginger (fresh) ? As it appears that stem ginger is ginger in sugar syrup?

Tastes yummy though - my mum is staying with me and it's a thermie kind of day - beef stock, hommus, this and as soon as I've boiled the water to rinse the jars out (I've already put them through a hot dishwasher) I'll be making quiche, starting with the shortcrust pastry ;)

Hi Cookie,

I've had it for about 4 weeks. My hubby loves the polenta (he hated polenta before TX!) and I think custard ... yum ...

For mains, I'm enjoying making pasta + sauces.

Oh, and pikelets :)
