yogurt-cool

Feeling the heat from the warm summer days, I started thinking of all the possible cool lunch meals one can enjoy. The choices were endless but one product kept coming up; yogurt!

Arjani-drink, yogurt and tzatziki

Many of my yogurt recipes come from my mother who got them from her grandmother who got them from her Asia Minor ancestors. These foods have a long history and have been enjoyed by generations. Although yogurt is a basic and modest ingredient it scores a lot of 'good-for-our-health' points. 

Yogurt is better than milk; not only it includes the same calcium properties as milk but it also gets digested easier than milk. Yogurt is a great option for recovering digestive illnesses such as diarrhea as it helps recover important elements lost through the illness. Unlike milk, yogurt helps other foods and their properties be absorbed more effectively by our system. 

Whether one wishes to help support their system and improve their health or just needs something cool and fresh, yogurt is an excellent and healthy choice. 

Try some of my traditional recipes like 'mantu' (yogurt with pasta) and 'purani' (yogurt with courgettes) or simply enjoy a glass of 'arjani' (cold yogurt drink).  

Give yogurt a chance and enjoy the goodness it provides.
