Over the centuries, cool and refreshing yogurt has been used in myriad ways: plain, at times, swirled with honey or often laced with succulent fruit. Soft and velvety, a precious gift of the highest nutritional value, its history is lost in the mists of time. In an almost mystical way this white aliment has succeeded in binding East and West. To the Hindus, yogurt was ``ambrosia for the Gods``, to the French, ``the milk of everlasting life``. In its name, myth and history sweetly blend and embrace its delicious flavour. In the pages of this book you will discover wonderful ways of cooking with yogurt: Recipes for food and confectionery, where yogurt, simple and pure, is always the protagonist. These exquisite creations will please the most refined and selective of palates. Let us begin then the journey along the trails of yogurt. A jaunt through the history of the world. At our side let there be a bowl full of yogurt. And as for accompaniment? Honey? Fruit? Or nuts? The choice is entirely yours. . .
