I Heart Cooking Clubs: Everything's Better with Yogurt

Everything's Better with Yogurt!

Indian cuisine is proof that Everything is better with Yogurt!

There are so many different ways to showcase yogurt in Indian cuisine.

Blend your yogurt into a creamy, fruity, and healthy Mango Lassi.

Cool things down with a dunk in some Indian yogurt and cucumber sauce.

Add yogurt to your curry or use it as a garnish on top.

Or use yogurt as a marinade for some delicious Tandoor chicken!

Open up your books and find a way to incorporate yogurt into your dish this week. Make and post your Everything's Better with Yogurt dish by Sunday, October 28th. Remember to leave a comment after using Mr. Linky so that we don't miss out on your dish.

If you'd like more information, check out our Welcome post!

Head over to last week's Lentil Love if you missed any of our comforting lentil dishes.

You Choose the Recipes!

In the interest of freedom of choice and to maximize the fun, we have organized this cooking club on themes. How you interpret the theme is up to you. If you feel that you would like nothing better than a three-pound bison burger, with all the fixin's, on a spa day.. nobody will challenge you on it!

Once the theme is announced, feel free to peruse our current chef's recipes from cookbooks or online, to find one that you think suits the theme and your tastes. Have fun with the recipe, change what you like, and link into that week's post.

Have some great ideas for themes? We love to hear your ideas! Feel free to email any of the hosts or leave your ideas in the comments section.
