-Janet Fletcher has written the book we yogurt-lovers have long been waiting for. Her recipes remind me of dishes I tasted in numerous Mediterranean and Middle-Eastern home kitchens where yogurt is an essential ingredient and where the best home cooks understand just how to use it. A beautiful book, authoritative and inspiring.- -Paula Wolfert, author of The Food of Morocco -Yogurt is so much more than a breakfast or snack. Janet seamlessly weaves it into a collection of beautiful, vibrant and healthful recipes that are sure to be a frequent reference for weeknight meals and parties with friends.- -Sara Forte, author of The Sprouted Kitchen
