Book 17 / The Book of Yoghurt / Yoghurt Muffins

Still don’t anyone who has remoska I can borrow. Sigh. Still can’t cook from book 16  ’cooking with the remoska’. Still not keen on idea of buying one - costs £140. Maybe fate will intervene. Maybe I’ll start interweaving it in conversation with random people. ‘Hello friendly postie, how are you today? You look like someone who enjoys hearty winter meals, do you have remoska?’ Hmmm. Remoska will not defeat me. Is just a blip in quest to cook through books. May find out more about person who owned books later on. Maybe there’s a name in one of books. Maybe I’ll track down original owner of books and they’ll have remoska but have since memorized all remoska recipes which is why they got rid of remoska cooking books. Probably. Sounds like a plan. Will just be patient. Until then. Next book.

Book 17 / The Book of Yoghurt – An International Collection of Recipes by Sonia Uvezian / Yoghurt Muffins

Like yoghurt. Don’t do too much with it though. Buy big pots of it in effort to be economical. End up throwing half of it away. Have never heard of book. Was published in 1978. Doubt anyone else in whole world owns book. Is very interesting though. Discover that ‘the mountain folk of Bulgaria and the Caucasus (where a large number of centenarians also exist, including the oldest people in the world) live long and healthy lives for several important reasons and not just because they are yoghurt lovers.’ Wahoo. Must mean long life is partly attributable to yoghurt. Throw out the anti-aging cream ladies, enough with the zumba… copious amounts of yoghurt here we come.

Book is packed full of yoghurt related recipes. Never realized how versatile yoghurt is. All 162 pages of it. With few pictures. Some pages have three recipes on. Could make persian yoghurt cheese with cucumbers. Or chilled senegalese soup with yoghurt. Or ghivetch. Not feeling adventurous. Need cake. Decide on yoghurt muffins. Sound tasty. Sieve and mix dry ingredients. Combine wet ones. Add to dry ingredients. Stir until moistened. Look at mixture. Looks like wall paper paste. Has same texture as wall paper paste. Eugh. Convinced it’s a recipe for wall paper paste. Need more wet ingredients. Hmmm. There’s only one egg in it. Add another egg. Is much better. Divide mixture in to muffin cases, not patty pans as specified. Not sure what patty pan is. Cake tin? Not keen on lining tin with mixture. May never get it off. Put in oven. Cakes rise well. Topple slightly. Keep close eye on them after frequently getting distracted and burning cakes. Leave to cool. Look good.

Try one. Tastes of nothing. Zilchio. Nada. V.boring. Terrible. Gutted. Waste of ingredients.

NB. Still ate all 12 though during week as had no other cake.
