KitchariIndian Comfort FoodFrom the kitchen of Eleonora Gafton(makes 8-12 meals)
Kitchari is an Ayurvedic super-food it is very easy on digestion and it is nutrient dense and filled with nourishment and has cleansing benefits It is a simple porridge-like blend of pulses and grain it is high in protein and it is extremely comforting to your digestive tract and intestinal mucosa
Traditionally one will use white rice and split mung beans I used in my recipe red lentils and Jobrsquos tear grain for added nutrient density This makes it a perfect protein There are 20 amino acids that combine with one another to make the protein the body needs Ten of them the body can synthesize them on its own the other ten are called essential amino acids These need to be sourced from the foods we eat as the body is not able to make them
Grains in general are low on lysine yet they are high in methionine tryptophan and cysteine Legumes are high in lysine thus combining grain and legume will result in the complete protein
INGREDIENTS2 cups red Lentils soaked1 cup Jobrsquos tear grain soaked1 yellow Onion diced3 Carrots sliced in frac12 moons3 stalks of Celery small slice1 Parsnip sliced in frac12 moons1 medium Sweet potato small dice1 Tbsp Ginger fresh minced1 tsp each Turmeric cumin powderfrac12 tsp each Coriander and fennel powder2 Bay leaves2 Cloves1 tsp of Celtic salt8 cups of Water or vegetable broth1 Bunch of cilantro or parsley chopped for garnish1 Large Avocado diced for garnish

KitchariIndian Comfort Food(Continued)
DIRECTIONSFor best results soak red lentils and Jobrsquos tear overnight in clean filtered water with a pinch of salt In the morning rinse well until the water is clear and allow to drain completely
I like to make this in the Instant Pot as you can sauteacute your vegetables in the pot and it is done in 30 minutes
1 Add frac14 cup of extra virgin olive oil to the pot Allow to heat up Add the onions and slightly caramelize it about 5 minutes
2 Add the remaining vegetables and sauteacute for another 3 minutes3 Add the spices and make sure that all the ingredients are well coated with the spices than
add the well-drained legume grain combination4 Add the liquid of your choice5 Season with salt and fresh cracked pepper6 Place the lid on the Instant Pot and push the grain mode (30 minutes) Once the time is up
allow for the pressure to be released before opening the pot7 Add your fresh herb like cilantro or parsley and serve with diced avocado8 Enjoy Bon Appetite
NOTESbull If you donrsquot have an Instant Pot than you can cook it on the stove top covered please
monitor until all the liquid is absorbed and you have a porridge like dish It might take longer on the stove top perhaps 45-50 minutes
bull Jobrsquos tear (Coix lacryma-jobi of the Poaceae family) is an ancient grain ancient heirloom pseudo-grain - it looks like a plump back tooth or molar Technically Jobrsquos tears come from a grass that produces these edible ivory bead-like seeds It is nutritionally significant with a high protein to carbohydrate ratio and is consumed in many cultures -- India Japan Korea Burma Thailand the list is long -- to promote a wide range of benefits and to support wellness in general

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

KitchariIndian Comfort FoodFrom the kitchen of Eleonora Gafton(makes 8-12 meals)
Kitchari is an Ayurvedic super-food it is very easy on digestion and it is nutrient dense and filled with nourishment and has cleansing benefits It is a simple porridge-like blend of pulses and grain it is high in protein and it is extremely comforting to your digestive tract and intestinal mucosa
Traditionally one will use white rice and split mung beans I used in my recipe red lentils and Jobrsquos tear grain for added nutrient density This makes it a perfect protein There are 20 amino acids that combine with one another to make the protein the body needs Ten of them the body can synthesize them on its own the other ten are called essential amino acids These need to be sourced from the foods we eat as the body is not able to make them
Grains in general are low on lysine yet they are high in methionine tryptophan and cysteine Legumes are high in lysine thus combining grain and legume will result in the complete protein
INGREDIENTS2 cups red Lentils soaked1 cup Jobrsquos tear grain soaked1 yellow Onion diced3 Carrots sliced in frac12 moons3 stalks of Celery small slice1 Parsnip sliced in frac12 moons1 medium Sweet potato small dice1 Tbsp Ginger fresh minced1 tsp each Turmeric cumin powderfrac12 tsp each Coriander and fennel powder2 Bay leaves2 Cloves1 tsp of Celtic salt8 cups of Water or vegetable broth1 Bunch of cilantro or parsley chopped for garnish1 Large Avocado diced for garnish

KitchariIndian Comfort Food(Continued)
DIRECTIONSFor best results soak red lentils and Jobrsquos tear overnight in clean filtered water with a pinch of salt In the morning rinse well until the water is clear and allow to drain completely
I like to make this in the Instant Pot as you can sauteacute your vegetables in the pot and it is done in 30 minutes
1 Add frac14 cup of extra virgin olive oil to the pot Allow to heat up Add the onions and slightly caramelize it about 5 minutes
2 Add the remaining vegetables and sauteacute for another 3 minutes3 Add the spices and make sure that all the ingredients are well coated with the spices than
add the well-drained legume grain combination4 Add the liquid of your choice5 Season with salt and fresh cracked pepper6 Place the lid on the Instant Pot and push the grain mode (30 minutes) Once the time is up
allow for the pressure to be released before opening the pot7 Add your fresh herb like cilantro or parsley and serve with diced avocado8 Enjoy Bon Appetite
NOTESbull If you donrsquot have an Instant Pot than you can cook it on the stove top covered please
monitor until all the liquid is absorbed and you have a porridge like dish It might take longer on the stove top perhaps 45-50 minutes
bull Jobrsquos tear (Coix lacryma-jobi of the Poaceae family) is an ancient grain ancient heirloom pseudo-grain - it looks like a plump back tooth or molar Technically Jobrsquos tears come from a grass that produces these edible ivory bead-like seeds It is nutritionally significant with a high protein to carbohydrate ratio and is consumed in many cultures -- India Japan Korea Burma Thailand the list is long -- to promote a wide range of benefits and to support wellness in general

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

KitchariIndian Comfort FoodFrom the kitchen of Eleonora Gafton(makes 8-12 meals)
Kitchari is an Ayurvedic super-food it is very easy on digestion and it is nutrient dense and filled with nourishment and has cleansing benefits It is a simple porridge-like blend of pulses and grain it is high in protein and it is extremely comforting to your digestive tract and intestinal mucosa
Traditionally one will use white rice and split mung beans I used in my recipe red lentils and Jobrsquos tear grain for added nutrient density This makes it a perfect protein There are 20 amino acids that combine with one another to make the protein the body needs Ten of them the body can synthesize them on its own the other ten are called essential amino acids These need to be sourced from the foods we eat as the body is not able to make them
Grains in general are low on lysine yet they are high in methionine tryptophan and cysteine Legumes are high in lysine thus combining grain and legume will result in the complete protein
INGREDIENTS2 cups red Lentils soaked1 cup Jobrsquos tear grain soaked1 yellow Onion diced3 Carrots sliced in frac12 moons3 stalks of Celery small slice1 Parsnip sliced in frac12 moons1 medium Sweet potato small dice1 Tbsp Ginger fresh minced1 tsp each Turmeric cumin powderfrac12 tsp each Coriander and fennel powder2 Bay leaves2 Cloves1 tsp of Celtic salt8 cups of Water or vegetable broth1 Bunch of cilantro or parsley chopped for garnish1 Large Avocado diced for garnish

KitchariIndian Comfort Food(Continued)
DIRECTIONSFor best results soak red lentils and Jobrsquos tear overnight in clean filtered water with a pinch of salt In the morning rinse well until the water is clear and allow to drain completely
I like to make this in the Instant Pot as you can sauteacute your vegetables in the pot and it is done in 30 minutes
1 Add frac14 cup of extra virgin olive oil to the pot Allow to heat up Add the onions and slightly caramelize it about 5 minutes
2 Add the remaining vegetables and sauteacute for another 3 minutes3 Add the spices and make sure that all the ingredients are well coated with the spices than
add the well-drained legume grain combination4 Add the liquid of your choice5 Season with salt and fresh cracked pepper6 Place the lid on the Instant Pot and push the grain mode (30 minutes) Once the time is up
allow for the pressure to be released before opening the pot7 Add your fresh herb like cilantro or parsley and serve with diced avocado8 Enjoy Bon Appetite
NOTESbull If you donrsquot have an Instant Pot than you can cook it on the stove top covered please
monitor until all the liquid is absorbed and you have a porridge like dish It might take longer on the stove top perhaps 45-50 minutes
bull Jobrsquos tear (Coix lacryma-jobi of the Poaceae family) is an ancient grain ancient heirloom pseudo-grain - it looks like a plump back tooth or molar Technically Jobrsquos tears come from a grass that produces these edible ivory bead-like seeds It is nutritionally significant with a high protein to carbohydrate ratio and is consumed in many cultures -- India Japan Korea Burma Thailand the list is long -- to promote a wide range of benefits and to support wellness in general

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

KitchariIndian Comfort FoodFrom the kitchen of Eleonora Gafton(makes 8-12 meals)
Kitchari is an Ayurvedic super-food it is very easy on digestion and it is nutrient dense and filled with nourishment and has cleansing benefits It is a simple porridge-like blend of pulses and grain it is high in protein and it is extremely comforting to your digestive tract and intestinal mucosa
Traditionally one will use white rice and split mung beans I used in my recipe red lentils and Jobrsquos tear grain for added nutrient density This makes it a perfect protein There are 20 amino acids that combine with one another to make the protein the body needs Ten of them the body can synthesize them on its own the other ten are called essential amino acids These need to be sourced from the foods we eat as the body is not able to make them
Grains in general are low on lysine yet they are high in methionine tryptophan and cysteine Legumes are high in lysine thus combining grain and legume will result in the complete protein
INGREDIENTS2 cups red Lentils soaked1 cup Jobrsquos tear grain soaked1 yellow Onion diced3 Carrots sliced in frac12 moons3 stalks of Celery small slice1 Parsnip sliced in frac12 moons1 medium Sweet potato small dice1 Tbsp Ginger fresh minced1 tsp each Turmeric cumin powderfrac12 tsp each Coriander and fennel powder2 Bay leaves2 Cloves1 tsp of Celtic salt8 cups of Water or vegetable broth1 Bunch of cilantro or parsley chopped for garnish1 Large Avocado diced for garnish

KitchariIndian Comfort Food(Continued)
DIRECTIONSFor best results soak red lentils and Jobrsquos tear overnight in clean filtered water with a pinch of salt In the morning rinse well until the water is clear and allow to drain completely
I like to make this in the Instant Pot as you can sauteacute your vegetables in the pot and it is done in 30 minutes
1 Add frac14 cup of extra virgin olive oil to the pot Allow to heat up Add the onions and slightly caramelize it about 5 minutes
2 Add the remaining vegetables and sauteacute for another 3 minutes3 Add the spices and make sure that all the ingredients are well coated with the spices than
add the well-drained legume grain combination4 Add the liquid of your choice5 Season with salt and fresh cracked pepper6 Place the lid on the Instant Pot and push the grain mode (30 minutes) Once the time is up
allow for the pressure to be released before opening the pot7 Add your fresh herb like cilantro or parsley and serve with diced avocado8 Enjoy Bon Appetite
NOTESbull If you donrsquot have an Instant Pot than you can cook it on the stove top covered please
monitor until all the liquid is absorbed and you have a porridge like dish It might take longer on the stove top perhaps 45-50 minutes
bull Jobrsquos tear (Coix lacryma-jobi of the Poaceae family) is an ancient grain ancient heirloom pseudo-grain - it looks like a plump back tooth or molar Technically Jobrsquos tears come from a grass that produces these edible ivory bead-like seeds It is nutritionally significant with a high protein to carbohydrate ratio and is consumed in many cultures -- India Japan Korea Burma Thailand the list is long -- to promote a wide range of benefits and to support wellness in general

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

KitchariIndian Comfort FoodFrom the kitchen of Eleonora Gafton(makes 8-12 meals)
Kitchari is an Ayurvedic super-food it is very easy on digestion and it is nutrient dense and filled with nourishment and has cleansing benefits It is a simple porridge-like blend of pulses and grain it is high in protein and it is extremely comforting to your digestive tract and intestinal mucosa
Traditionally one will use white rice and split mung beans I used in my recipe red lentils and Jobrsquos tear grain for added nutrient density This makes it a perfect protein There are 20 amino acids that combine with one another to make the protein the body needs Ten of them the body can synthesize them on its own the other ten are called essential amino acids These need to be sourced from the foods we eat as the body is not able to make them
Grains in general are low on lysine yet they are high in methionine tryptophan and cysteine Legumes are high in lysine thus combining grain and legume will result in the complete protein
INGREDIENTS2 cups red Lentils soaked1 cup Jobrsquos tear grain soaked1 yellow Onion diced3 Carrots sliced in frac12 moons3 stalks of Celery small slice1 Parsnip sliced in frac12 moons1 medium Sweet potato small dice1 Tbsp Ginger fresh minced1 tsp each Turmeric cumin powderfrac12 tsp each Coriander and fennel powder2 Bay leaves2 Cloves1 tsp of Celtic salt8 cups of Water or vegetable broth1 Bunch of cilantro or parsley chopped for garnish1 Large Avocado diced for garnish

monitor until all the liquid is absorbed and you have a porridge like dish It might take longer on the stove top perhaps 45-50 minutes
bull Jobrsquos tear (Coix lacryma-jobi of the Poaceae family) is an ancient grain ancient heirloom pseudo-grain - it looks like a plump back tooth or molar Technically Jobrsquos tears come from a grass that produces these edible ivory bead-like seeds It is nutritionally significant with a high protein to carbohydrate ratio and is consumed in many cultures -- India Japan Korea Burma Thailand the list is long -- to promote a wide range of benefits and to support wellness in general

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

KitchariIndian Comfort FoodFrom the kitchen of Eleonora Gafton(makes 8-12 meals)
Kitchari is an Ayurvedic super-food it is very easy on digestion and it is nutrient dense and filled with nourishment and has cleansing benefits It is a simple porridge-like blend of pulses and grain it is high in protein and it is extremely comforting to your digestive tract and intestinal mucosa
Traditionally one will use white rice and split mung beans I used in my recipe red lentils and Jobrsquos tear grain for added nutrient density This makes it a perfect protein There are 20 amino acids that combine with one another to make the protein the body needs Ten of them the body can synthesize them on its own the other ten are called essential amino acids These need to be sourced from the foods we eat as the body is not able to make them
Grains in general are low on lysine yet they are high in methionine tryptophan and cysteine Legumes are high in lysine thus combining grain and legume will result in the complete protein
INGREDIENTS2 cups red Lentils soaked1 cup Jobrsquos tear grain soaked1 yellow Onion diced3 Carrots sliced in frac12 moons3 stalks of Celery small slice1 Parsnip sliced in frac12 moons1 medium Sweet potato small dice1 Tbsp Ginger fresh minced1 tsp each Turmeric cumin powderfrac12 tsp each Coriander and fennel powder2 Bay leaves2 Cloves1 tsp of Celtic salt8 cups of Water or vegetable broth1 Bunch of cilantro or parsley chopped for garnish1 Large Avocado diced for garnish

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

KitchariIndian Comfort FoodFrom the kitchen of Eleonora Gafton(makes 8-12 meals)
Kitchari is an Ayurvedic super-food it is very easy on digestion and it is nutrient dense and filled with nourishment and has cleansing benefits It is a simple porridge-like blend of pulses and grain it is high in protein and it is extremely comforting to your digestive tract and intestinal mucosa
Traditionally one will use white rice and split mung beans I used in my recipe red lentils and Jobrsquos tear grain for added nutrient density This makes it a perfect protein There are 20 amino acids that combine with one another to make the protein the body needs Ten of them the body can synthesize them on its own the other ten are called essential amino acids These need to be sourced from the foods we eat as the body is not able to make them
Grains in general are low on lysine yet they are high in methionine tryptophan and cysteine Legumes are high in lysine thus combining grain and legume will result in the complete protein
INGREDIENTS2 cups red Lentils soaked1 cup Jobrsquos tear grain soaked1 yellow Onion diced3 Carrots sliced in frac12 moons3 stalks of Celery small slice1 Parsnip sliced in frac12 moons1 medium Sweet potato small dice1 Tbsp Ginger fresh minced1 tsp each Turmeric cumin powderfrac12 tsp each Coriander and fennel powder2 Bay leaves2 Cloves1 tsp of Celtic salt8 cups of Water or vegetable broth1 Bunch of cilantro or parsley chopped for garnish1 Large Avocado diced for garnish

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

KitchariIndian Comfort FoodFrom the kitchen of Eleonora Gafton(makes 8-12 meals)
Kitchari is an Ayurvedic super-food it is very easy on digestion and it is nutrient dense and filled with nourishment and has cleansing benefits It is a simple porridge-like blend of pulses and grain it is high in protein and it is extremely comforting to your digestive tract and intestinal mucosa
Traditionally one will use white rice and split mung beans I used in my recipe red lentils and Jobrsquos tear grain for added nutrient density This makes it a perfect protein There are 20 amino acids that combine with one another to make the protein the body needs Ten of them the body can synthesize them on its own the other ten are called essential amino acids These need to be sourced from the foods we eat as the body is not able to make them
Grains in general are low on lysine yet they are high in methionine tryptophan and cysteine Legumes are high in lysine thus combining grain and legume will result in the complete protein
INGREDIENTS2 cups red Lentils soaked1 cup Jobrsquos tear grain soaked1 yellow Onion diced3 Carrots sliced in frac12 moons3 stalks of Celery small slice1 Parsnip sliced in frac12 moons1 medium Sweet potato small dice1 Tbsp Ginger fresh minced1 tsp each Turmeric cumin powderfrac12 tsp each Coriander and fennel powder2 Bay leaves2 Cloves1 tsp of Celtic salt8 cups of Water or vegetable broth1 Bunch of cilantro or parsley chopped for garnish1 Large Avocado diced for garnish

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

KitchariIndian Comfort FoodFrom the kitchen of Eleonora Gafton(makes 8-12 meals)
Kitchari is an Ayurvedic super-food it is very easy on digestion and it is nutrient dense and filled with nourishment and has cleansing benefits It is a simple porridge-like blend of pulses and grain it is high in protein and it is extremely comforting to your digestive tract and intestinal mucosa
Traditionally one will use white rice and split mung beans I used in my recipe red lentils and Jobrsquos tear grain for added nutrient density This makes it a perfect protein There are 20 amino acids that combine with one another to make the protein the body needs Ten of them the body can synthesize them on its own the other ten are called essential amino acids These need to be sourced from the foods we eat as the body is not able to make them
Grains in general are low on lysine yet they are high in methionine tryptophan and cysteine Legumes are high in lysine thus combining grain and legume will result in the complete protein
INGREDIENTS2 cups red Lentils soaked1 cup Jobrsquos tear grain soaked1 yellow Onion diced3 Carrots sliced in frac12 moons3 stalks of Celery small slice1 Parsnip sliced in frac12 moons1 medium Sweet potato small dice1 Tbsp Ginger fresh minced1 tsp each Turmeric cumin powderfrac12 tsp each Coriander and fennel powder2 Bay leaves2 Cloves1 tsp of Celtic salt8 cups of Water or vegetable broth1 Bunch of cilantro or parsley chopped for garnish1 Large Avocado diced for garnish

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

KitchariIndian Comfort FoodFrom the kitchen of Eleonora Gafton(makes 8-12 meals)
Kitchari is an Ayurvedic super-food it is very easy on digestion and it is nutrient dense and filled with nourishment and has cleansing benefits It is a simple porridge-like blend of pulses and grain it is high in protein and it is extremely comforting to your digestive tract and intestinal mucosa
Traditionally one will use white rice and split mung beans I used in my recipe red lentils and Jobrsquos tear grain for added nutrient density This makes it a perfect protein There are 20 amino acids that combine with one another to make the protein the body needs Ten of them the body can synthesize them on its own the other ten are called essential amino acids These need to be sourced from the foods we eat as the body is not able to make them
Grains in general are low on lysine yet they are high in methionine tryptophan and cysteine Legumes are high in lysine thus combining grain and legume will result in the complete protein
INGREDIENTS2 cups red Lentils soaked1 cup Jobrsquos tear grain soaked1 yellow Onion diced3 Carrots sliced in frac12 moons3 stalks of Celery small slice1 Parsnip sliced in frac12 moons1 medium Sweet potato small dice1 Tbsp Ginger fresh minced1 tsp each Turmeric cumin powderfrac12 tsp each Coriander and fennel powder2 Bay leaves2 Cloves1 tsp of Celtic salt8 cups of Water or vegetable broth1 Bunch of cilantro or parsley chopped for garnish1 Large Avocado diced for garnish

2 Add the remaining vegetables and sauteacute for another 3 minutes3 Add the spices and make sure that all the ingredients are well coated with the spices than
add the well-drained legume grain combination4 Add the liquid of your choice5 Season with salt and fresh cracked pepper6 Place the lid on the Instant Pot and push the grain mode (30 minutes) Once the time is up
allow for the pressure to be released before opening the pot7 Add your fresh herb like cilantro or parsley and serve with diced avocado8 Enjoy Bon Appetite
NOTESbull If you donrsquot have an Instant Pot than you can cook it on the stove top covered please
monitor until all the liquid is absorbed and you have a porridge like dish It might take longer on the stove top perhaps 45-50 minutes
bull Jobrsquos tear (Coix lacryma-jobi of the Poaceae family) is an ancient grain ancient heirloom pseudo-grain - it looks like a plump back tooth or molar Technically Jobrsquos tears come from a grass that produces these edible ivory bead-like seeds It is nutritionally significant with a high protein to carbohydrate ratio and is consumed in many cultures -- India Japan Korea Burma Thailand the list is long -- to promote a wide range of benefits and to support wellness in general

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

KitchariIndian Comfort FoodFrom the kitchen of Eleonora Gafton(makes 8-12 meals)
Kitchari is an Ayurvedic super-food it is very easy on digestion and it is nutrient dense and filled with nourishment and has cleansing benefits It is a simple porridge-like blend of pulses and grain it is high in protein and it is extremely comforting to your digestive tract and intestinal mucosa
Traditionally one will use white rice and split mung beans I used in my recipe red lentils and Jobrsquos tear grain for added nutrient density This makes it a perfect protein There are 20 amino acids that combine with one another to make the protein the body needs Ten of them the body can synthesize them on its own the other ten are called essential amino acids These need to be sourced from the foods we eat as the body is not able to make them
Grains in general are low on lysine yet they are high in methionine tryptophan and cysteine Legumes are high in lysine thus combining grain and legume will result in the complete protein
INGREDIENTS2 cups red Lentils soaked1 cup Jobrsquos tear grain soaked1 yellow Onion diced3 Carrots sliced in frac12 moons3 stalks of Celery small slice1 Parsnip sliced in frac12 moons1 medium Sweet potato small dice1 Tbsp Ginger fresh minced1 tsp each Turmeric cumin powderfrac12 tsp each Coriander and fennel powder2 Bay leaves2 Cloves1 tsp of Celtic salt8 cups of Water or vegetable broth1 Bunch of cilantro or parsley chopped for garnish1 Large Avocado diced for garnish

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

KitchariIndian Comfort FoodFrom the kitchen of Eleonora Gafton(makes 8-12 meals)
Kitchari is an Ayurvedic super-food it is very easy on digestion and it is nutrient dense and filled with nourishment and has cleansing benefits It is a simple porridge-like blend of pulses and grain it is high in protein and it is extremely comforting to your digestive tract and intestinal mucosa
Traditionally one will use white rice and split mung beans I used in my recipe red lentils and Jobrsquos tear grain for added nutrient density This makes it a perfect protein There are 20 amino acids that combine with one another to make the protein the body needs Ten of them the body can synthesize them on its own the other ten are called essential amino acids These need to be sourced from the foods we eat as the body is not able to make them
Grains in general are low on lysine yet they are high in methionine tryptophan and cysteine Legumes are high in lysine thus combining grain and legume will result in the complete protein
INGREDIENTS2 cups red Lentils soaked1 cup Jobrsquos tear grain soaked1 yellow Onion diced3 Carrots sliced in frac12 moons3 stalks of Celery small slice1 Parsnip sliced in frac12 moons1 medium Sweet potato small dice1 Tbsp Ginger fresh minced1 tsp each Turmeric cumin powderfrac12 tsp each Coriander and fennel powder2 Bay leaves2 Cloves1 tsp of Celtic salt8 cups of Water or vegetable broth1 Bunch of cilantro or parsley chopped for garnish1 Large Avocado diced for garnish

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

KitchariIndian Comfort FoodFrom the kitchen of Eleonora Gafton(makes 8-12 meals)
Kitchari is an Ayurvedic super-food it is very easy on digestion and it is nutrient dense and filled with nourishment and has cleansing benefits It is a simple porridge-like blend of pulses and grain it is high in protein and it is extremely comforting to your digestive tract and intestinal mucosa
Traditionally one will use white rice and split mung beans I used in my recipe red lentils and Jobrsquos tear grain for added nutrient density This makes it a perfect protein There are 20 amino acids that combine with one another to make the protein the body needs Ten of them the body can synthesize them on its own the other ten are called essential amino acids These need to be sourced from the foods we eat as the body is not able to make them
Grains in general are low on lysine yet they are high in methionine tryptophan and cysteine Legumes are high in lysine thus combining grain and legume will result in the complete protein
INGREDIENTS2 cups red Lentils soaked1 cup Jobrsquos tear grain soaked1 yellow Onion diced3 Carrots sliced in frac12 moons3 stalks of Celery small slice1 Parsnip sliced in frac12 moons1 medium Sweet potato small dice1 Tbsp Ginger fresh minced1 tsp each Turmeric cumin powderfrac12 tsp each Coriander and fennel powder2 Bay leaves2 Cloves1 tsp of Celtic salt8 cups of Water or vegetable broth1 Bunch of cilantro or parsley chopped for garnish1 Large Avocado diced for garnish

1 Add frac14 cup of extra virgin olive oil to the pot Allow to heat up Add the onions and slightly caramelize it about 5 minutes
2 Add the remaining vegetables and sauteacute for another 3 minutes3 Add the spices and make sure that all the ingredients are well coated with the spices than
add the well-drained legume grain combination4 Add the liquid of your choice5 Season with salt and fresh cracked pepper6 Place the lid on the Instant Pot and push the grain mode (30 minutes) Once the time is up
allow for the pressure to be released before opening the pot7 Add your fresh herb like cilantro or parsley and serve with diced avocado8 Enjoy Bon Appetite
NOTESbull If you donrsquot have an Instant Pot than you can cook it on the stove top covered please
monitor until all the liquid is absorbed and you have a porridge like dish It might take longer on the stove top perhaps 45-50 minutes
bull Jobrsquos tear (Coix lacryma-jobi of the Poaceae family) is an ancient grain ancient heirloom pseudo-grain - it looks like a plump back tooth or molar Technically Jobrsquos tears come from a grass that produces these edible ivory bead-like seeds It is nutritionally significant with a high protein to carbohydrate ratio and is consumed in many cultures -- India Japan Korea Burma Thailand the list is long -- to promote a wide range of benefits and to support wellness in general

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

KitchariIndian Comfort FoodFrom the kitchen of Eleonora Gafton(makes 8-12 meals)
Kitchari is an Ayurvedic super-food it is very easy on digestion and it is nutrient dense and filled with nourishment and has cleansing benefits It is a simple porridge-like blend of pulses and grain it is high in protein and it is extremely comforting to your digestive tract and intestinal mucosa
Traditionally one will use white rice and split mung beans I used in my recipe red lentils and Jobrsquos tear grain for added nutrient density This makes it a perfect protein There are 20 amino acids that combine with one another to make the protein the body needs Ten of them the body can synthesize them on its own the other ten are called essential amino acids These need to be sourced from the foods we eat as the body is not able to make them
Grains in general are low on lysine yet they are high in methionine tryptophan and cysteine Legumes are high in lysine thus combining grain and legume will result in the complete protein
INGREDIENTS2 cups red Lentils soaked1 cup Jobrsquos tear grain soaked1 yellow Onion diced3 Carrots sliced in frac12 moons3 stalks of Celery small slice1 Parsnip sliced in frac12 moons1 medium Sweet potato small dice1 Tbsp Ginger fresh minced1 tsp each Turmeric cumin powderfrac12 tsp each Coriander and fennel powder2 Bay leaves2 Cloves1 tsp of Celtic salt8 cups of Water or vegetable broth1 Bunch of cilantro or parsley chopped for garnish1 Large Avocado diced for garnish

KitchariIndian Comfort Food(Continued)
DIRECTIONSFor best results soak red lentils and Jobrsquos tear overnight in clean filtered water with a pinch of salt In the morning rinse well until the water is clear and allow to drain completely
I like to make this in the Instant Pot as you can sauteacute your vegetables in the pot and it is done in 30 minutes
1 Add frac14 cup of extra virgin olive oil to the pot Allow to heat up Add the onions and slightly caramelize it about 5 minutes
2 Add the remaining vegetables and sauteacute for another 3 minutes3 Add the spices and make sure that all the ingredients are well coated with the spices than
add the well-drained legume grain combination4 Add the liquid of your choice5 Season with salt and fresh cracked pepper6 Place the lid on the Instant Pot and push the grain mode (30 minutes) Once the time is up
allow for the pressure to be released before opening the pot7 Add your fresh herb like cilantro or parsley and serve with diced avocado8 Enjoy Bon Appetite
NOTESbull If you donrsquot have an Instant Pot than you can cook it on the stove top covered please
monitor until all the liquid is absorbed and you have a porridge like dish It might take longer on the stove top perhaps 45-50 minutes
bull Jobrsquos tear (Coix lacryma-jobi of the Poaceae family) is an ancient grain ancient heirloom pseudo-grain - it looks like a plump back tooth or molar Technically Jobrsquos tears come from a grass that produces these edible ivory bead-like seeds It is nutritionally significant with a high protein to carbohydrate ratio and is consumed in many cultures -- India Japan Korea Burma Thailand the list is long -- to promote a wide range of benefits and to support wellness in general

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

KitchariIndian Comfort FoodFrom the kitchen of Eleonora Gafton(makes 8-12 meals)
Kitchari is an Ayurvedic super-food it is very easy on digestion and it is nutrient dense and filled with nourishment and has cleansing benefits It is a simple porridge-like blend of pulses and grain it is high in protein and it is extremely comforting to your digestive tract and intestinal mucosa
Traditionally one will use white rice and split mung beans I used in my recipe red lentils and Jobrsquos tear grain for added nutrient density This makes it a perfect protein There are 20 amino acids that combine with one another to make the protein the body needs Ten of them the body can synthesize them on its own the other ten are called essential amino acids These need to be sourced from the foods we eat as the body is not able to make them
Grains in general are low on lysine yet they are high in methionine tryptophan and cysteine Legumes are high in lysine thus combining grain and legume will result in the complete protein
INGREDIENTS2 cups red Lentils soaked1 cup Jobrsquos tear grain soaked1 yellow Onion diced3 Carrots sliced in frac12 moons3 stalks of Celery small slice1 Parsnip sliced in frac12 moons1 medium Sweet potato small dice1 Tbsp Ginger fresh minced1 tsp each Turmeric cumin powderfrac12 tsp each Coriander and fennel powder2 Bay leaves2 Cloves1 tsp of Celtic salt8 cups of Water or vegetable broth1 Bunch of cilantro or parsley chopped for garnish1 Large Avocado diced for garnish

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

KitchariIndian Comfort FoodFrom the kitchen of Eleonora Gafton(makes 8-12 meals)
Kitchari is an Ayurvedic super-food it is very easy on digestion and it is nutrient dense and filled with nourishment and has cleansing benefits It is a simple porridge-like blend of pulses and grain it is high in protein and it is extremely comforting to your digestive tract and intestinal mucosa
Traditionally one will use white rice and split mung beans I used in my recipe red lentils and Jobrsquos tear grain for added nutrient density This makes it a perfect protein There are 20 amino acids that combine with one another to make the protein the body needs Ten of them the body can synthesize them on its own the other ten are called essential amino acids These need to be sourced from the foods we eat as the body is not able to make them
Grains in general are low on lysine yet they are high in methionine tryptophan and cysteine Legumes are high in lysine thus combining grain and legume will result in the complete protein
INGREDIENTS2 cups red Lentils soaked1 cup Jobrsquos tear grain soaked1 yellow Onion diced3 Carrots sliced in frac12 moons3 stalks of Celery small slice1 Parsnip sliced in frac12 moons1 medium Sweet potato small dice1 Tbsp Ginger fresh minced1 tsp each Turmeric cumin powderfrac12 tsp each Coriander and fennel powder2 Bay leaves2 Cloves1 tsp of Celtic salt8 cups of Water or vegetable broth1 Bunch of cilantro or parsley chopped for garnish1 Large Avocado diced for garnish

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

KitchariIndian Comfort FoodFrom the kitchen of Eleonora Gafton(makes 8-12 meals)
Kitchari is an Ayurvedic super-food it is very easy on digestion and it is nutrient dense and filled with nourishment and has cleansing benefits It is a simple porridge-like blend of pulses and grain it is high in protein and it is extremely comforting to your digestive tract and intestinal mucosa
Traditionally one will use white rice and split mung beans I used in my recipe red lentils and Jobrsquos tear grain for added nutrient density This makes it a perfect protein There are 20 amino acids that combine with one another to make the protein the body needs Ten of them the body can synthesize them on its own the other ten are called essential amino acids These need to be sourced from the foods we eat as the body is not able to make them
Grains in general are low on lysine yet they are high in methionine tryptophan and cysteine Legumes are high in lysine thus combining grain and legume will result in the complete protein
INGREDIENTS2 cups red Lentils soaked1 cup Jobrsquos tear grain soaked1 yellow Onion diced3 Carrots sliced in frac12 moons3 stalks of Celery small slice1 Parsnip sliced in frac12 moons1 medium Sweet potato small dice1 Tbsp Ginger fresh minced1 tsp each Turmeric cumin powderfrac12 tsp each Coriander and fennel powder2 Bay leaves2 Cloves1 tsp of Celtic salt8 cups of Water or vegetable broth1 Bunch of cilantro or parsley chopped for garnish1 Large Avocado diced for garnish

3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

KitchariIndian Comfort FoodFrom the kitchen of Eleonora Gafton(makes 8-12 meals)
Kitchari is an Ayurvedic super-food it is very easy on digestion and it is nutrient dense and filled with nourishment and has cleansing benefits It is a simple porridge-like blend of pulses and grain it is high in protein and it is extremely comforting to your digestive tract and intestinal mucosa
Traditionally one will use white rice and split mung beans I used in my recipe red lentils and Jobrsquos tear grain for added nutrient density This makes it a perfect protein There are 20 amino acids that combine with one another to make the protein the body needs Ten of them the body can synthesize them on its own the other ten are called essential amino acids These need to be sourced from the foods we eat as the body is not able to make them
Grains in general are low on lysine yet they are high in methionine tryptophan and cysteine Legumes are high in lysine thus combining grain and legume will result in the complete protein
INGREDIENTS2 cups red Lentils soaked1 cup Jobrsquos tear grain soaked1 yellow Onion diced3 Carrots sliced in frac12 moons3 stalks of Celery small slice1 Parsnip sliced in frac12 moons1 medium Sweet potato small dice1 Tbsp Ginger fresh minced1 tsp each Turmeric cumin powderfrac12 tsp each Coriander and fennel powder2 Bay leaves2 Cloves1 tsp of Celtic salt8 cups of Water or vegetable broth1 Bunch of cilantro or parsley chopped for garnish1 Large Avocado diced for garnish

1 Add frac14 cup of extra virgin olive oil to the pot Allow to heat up Add the onions and slightly caramelize it about 5 minutes
2 Add the remaining vegetables and sauteacute for another 3 minutes3 Add the spices and make sure that all the ingredients are well coated with the spices than
add the well-drained legume grain combination4 Add the liquid of your choice5 Season with salt and fresh cracked pepper6 Place the lid on the Instant Pot and push the grain mode (30 minutes) Once the time is up
allow for the pressure to be released before opening the pot7 Add your fresh herb like cilantro or parsley and serve with diced avocado8 Enjoy Bon Appetite
NOTESbull If you donrsquot have an Instant Pot than you can cook it on the stove top covered please
monitor until all the liquid is absorbed and you have a porridge like dish It might take longer on the stove top perhaps 45-50 minutes
bull Jobrsquos tear (Coix lacryma-jobi of the Poaceae family) is an ancient grain ancient heirloom pseudo-grain - it looks like a plump back tooth or molar Technically Jobrsquos tears come from a grass that produces these edible ivory bead-like seeds It is nutritionally significant with a high protein to carbohydrate ratio and is consumed in many cultures -- India Japan Korea Burma Thailand the list is long -- to promote a wide range of benefits and to support wellness in general

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

KitchariIndian Comfort FoodFrom the kitchen of Eleonora Gafton(makes 8-12 meals)
Kitchari is an Ayurvedic super-food it is very easy on digestion and it is nutrient dense and filled with nourishment and has cleansing benefits It is a simple porridge-like blend of pulses and grain it is high in protein and it is extremely comforting to your digestive tract and intestinal mucosa
Traditionally one will use white rice and split mung beans I used in my recipe red lentils and Jobrsquos tear grain for added nutrient density This makes it a perfect protein There are 20 amino acids that combine with one another to make the protein the body needs Ten of them the body can synthesize them on its own the other ten are called essential amino acids These need to be sourced from the foods we eat as the body is not able to make them
Grains in general are low on lysine yet they are high in methionine tryptophan and cysteine Legumes are high in lysine thus combining grain and legume will result in the complete protein
INGREDIENTS2 cups red Lentils soaked1 cup Jobrsquos tear grain soaked1 yellow Onion diced3 Carrots sliced in frac12 moons3 stalks of Celery small slice1 Parsnip sliced in frac12 moons1 medium Sweet potato small dice1 Tbsp Ginger fresh minced1 tsp each Turmeric cumin powderfrac12 tsp each Coriander and fennel powder2 Bay leaves2 Cloves1 tsp of Celtic salt8 cups of Water or vegetable broth1 Bunch of cilantro or parsley chopped for garnish1 Large Avocado diced for garnish

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

KitchariIndian Comfort FoodFrom the kitchen of Eleonora Gafton(makes 8-12 meals)
Kitchari is an Ayurvedic super-food it is very easy on digestion and it is nutrient dense and filled with nourishment and has cleansing benefits It is a simple porridge-like blend of pulses and grain it is high in protein and it is extremely comforting to your digestive tract and intestinal mucosa
Traditionally one will use white rice and split mung beans I used in my recipe red lentils and Jobrsquos tear grain for added nutrient density This makes it a perfect protein There are 20 amino acids that combine with one another to make the protein the body needs Ten of them the body can synthesize them on its own the other ten are called essential amino acids These need to be sourced from the foods we eat as the body is not able to make them
Grains in general are low on lysine yet they are high in methionine tryptophan and cysteine Legumes are high in lysine thus combining grain and legume will result in the complete protein
INGREDIENTS2 cups red Lentils soaked1 cup Jobrsquos tear grain soaked1 yellow Onion diced3 Carrots sliced in frac12 moons3 stalks of Celery small slice1 Parsnip sliced in frac12 moons1 medium Sweet potato small dice1 Tbsp Ginger fresh minced1 tsp each Turmeric cumin powderfrac12 tsp each Coriander and fennel powder2 Bay leaves2 Cloves1 tsp of Celtic salt8 cups of Water or vegetable broth1 Bunch of cilantro or parsley chopped for garnish1 Large Avocado diced for garnish

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

KitchariIndian Comfort FoodFrom the kitchen of Eleonora Gafton(makes 8-12 meals)
Kitchari is an Ayurvedic super-food it is very easy on digestion and it is nutrient dense and filled with nourishment and has cleansing benefits It is a simple porridge-like blend of pulses and grain it is high in protein and it is extremely comforting to your digestive tract and intestinal mucosa
Traditionally one will use white rice and split mung beans I used in my recipe red lentils and Jobrsquos tear grain for added nutrient density This makes it a perfect protein There are 20 amino acids that combine with one another to make the protein the body needs Ten of them the body can synthesize them on its own the other ten are called essential amino acids These need to be sourced from the foods we eat as the body is not able to make them
Grains in general are low on lysine yet they are high in methionine tryptophan and cysteine Legumes are high in lysine thus combining grain and legume will result in the complete protein
INGREDIENTS2 cups red Lentils soaked1 cup Jobrsquos tear grain soaked1 yellow Onion diced3 Carrots sliced in frac12 moons3 stalks of Celery small slice1 Parsnip sliced in frac12 moons1 medium Sweet potato small dice1 Tbsp Ginger fresh minced1 tsp each Turmeric cumin powderfrac12 tsp each Coriander and fennel powder2 Bay leaves2 Cloves1 tsp of Celtic salt8 cups of Water or vegetable broth1 Bunch of cilantro or parsley chopped for garnish1 Large Avocado diced for garnish

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

KitchariIndian Comfort FoodFrom the kitchen of Eleonora Gafton(makes 8-12 meals)
Kitchari is an Ayurvedic super-food it is very easy on digestion and it is nutrient dense and filled with nourishment and has cleansing benefits It is a simple porridge-like blend of pulses and grain it is high in protein and it is extremely comforting to your digestive tract and intestinal mucosa
Traditionally one will use white rice and split mung beans I used in my recipe red lentils and Jobrsquos tear grain for added nutrient density This makes it a perfect protein There are 20 amino acids that combine with one another to make the protein the body needs Ten of them the body can synthesize them on its own the other ten are called essential amino acids These need to be sourced from the foods we eat as the body is not able to make them
Grains in general are low on lysine yet they are high in methionine tryptophan and cysteine Legumes are high in lysine thus combining grain and legume will result in the complete protein
INGREDIENTS2 cups red Lentils soaked1 cup Jobrsquos tear grain soaked1 yellow Onion diced3 Carrots sliced in frac12 moons3 stalks of Celery small slice1 Parsnip sliced in frac12 moons1 medium Sweet potato small dice1 Tbsp Ginger fresh minced1 tsp each Turmeric cumin powderfrac12 tsp each Coriander and fennel powder2 Bay leaves2 Cloves1 tsp of Celtic salt8 cups of Water or vegetable broth1 Bunch of cilantro or parsley chopped for garnish1 Large Avocado diced for garnish

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

KitchariIndian Comfort FoodFrom the kitchen of Eleonora Gafton(makes 8-12 meals)
Kitchari is an Ayurvedic super-food it is very easy on digestion and it is nutrient dense and filled with nourishment and has cleansing benefits It is a simple porridge-like blend of pulses and grain it is high in protein and it is extremely comforting to your digestive tract and intestinal mucosa
Traditionally one will use white rice and split mung beans I used in my recipe red lentils and Jobrsquos tear grain for added nutrient density This makes it a perfect protein There are 20 amino acids that combine with one another to make the protein the body needs Ten of them the body can synthesize them on its own the other ten are called essential amino acids These need to be sourced from the foods we eat as the body is not able to make them
Grains in general are low on lysine yet they are high in methionine tryptophan and cysteine Legumes are high in lysine thus combining grain and legume will result in the complete protein
INGREDIENTS2 cups red Lentils soaked1 cup Jobrsquos tear grain soaked1 yellow Onion diced3 Carrots sliced in frac12 moons3 stalks of Celery small slice1 Parsnip sliced in frac12 moons1 medium Sweet potato small dice1 Tbsp Ginger fresh minced1 tsp each Turmeric cumin powderfrac12 tsp each Coriander and fennel powder2 Bay leaves2 Cloves1 tsp of Celtic salt8 cups of Water or vegetable broth1 Bunch of cilantro or parsley chopped for garnish1 Large Avocado diced for garnish

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar

KitchariIndian Comfort FoodFrom the kitchen of Eleonora Gafton(makes 8-12 meals)
Kitchari is an Ayurvedic super-food it is very easy on digestion and it is nutrient dense and filled with nourishment and has cleansing benefits It is a simple porridge-like blend of pulses and grain it is high in protein and it is extremely comforting to your digestive tract and intestinal mucosa
Traditionally one will use white rice and split mung beans I used in my recipe red lentils and Jobrsquos tear grain for added nutrient density This makes it a perfect protein There are 20 amino acids that combine with one another to make the protein the body needs Ten of them the body can synthesize them on its own the other ten are called essential amino acids These need to be sourced from the foods we eat as the body is not able to make them
Grains in general are low on lysine yet they are high in methionine tryptophan and cysteine Legumes are high in lysine thus combining grain and legume will result in the complete protein
INGREDIENTS2 cups red Lentils soaked1 cup Jobrsquos tear grain soaked1 yellow Onion diced3 Carrots sliced in frac12 moons3 stalks of Celery small slice1 Parsnip sliced in frac12 moons1 medium Sweet potato small dice1 Tbsp Ginger fresh minced1 tsp each Turmeric cumin powderfrac12 tsp each Coriander and fennel powder2 Bay leaves2 Cloves1 tsp of Celtic salt8 cups of Water or vegetable broth1 Bunch of cilantro or parsley chopped for garnish1 Large Avocado diced for garnish

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

KitchariIndian Comfort FoodFrom the kitchen of Eleonora Gafton(makes 8-12 meals)
Kitchari is an Ayurvedic super-food it is very easy on digestion and it is nutrient dense and filled with nourishment and has cleansing benefits It is a simple porridge-like blend of pulses and grain it is high in protein and it is extremely comforting to your digestive tract and intestinal mucosa
Traditionally one will use white rice and split mung beans I used in my recipe red lentils and Jobrsquos tear grain for added nutrient density This makes it a perfect protein There are 20 amino acids that combine with one another to make the protein the body needs Ten of them the body can synthesize them on its own the other ten are called essential amino acids These need to be sourced from the foods we eat as the body is not able to make them
Grains in general are low on lysine yet they are high in methionine tryptophan and cysteine Legumes are high in lysine thus combining grain and legume will result in the complete protein
INGREDIENTS2 cups red Lentils soaked1 cup Jobrsquos tear grain soaked1 yellow Onion diced3 Carrots sliced in frac12 moons3 stalks of Celery small slice1 Parsnip sliced in frac12 moons1 medium Sweet potato small dice1 Tbsp Ginger fresh minced1 tsp each Turmeric cumin powderfrac12 tsp each Coriander and fennel powder2 Bay leaves2 Cloves1 tsp of Celtic salt8 cups of Water or vegetable broth1 Bunch of cilantro or parsley chopped for garnish1 Large Avocado diced for garnish

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy

7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch

Yogurt (Continued)
NOTESbull I used to use more starter assuming that more is better until I consulted my number
one kitchen book The Joy of Cooking (1964 Edition) known affectionately as ldquoJoyrdquo in our kitchen ldquoyou may wonder why so little starter is used and think that a little more will produce a better result It wonrsquot The bacillus if crowded gives a sour watery product But if the culture has sufficient Lebensraum (German for ldquoroom to liverdquo) it will be rich mild and creamyrdquo Mix the starter thoroughly into the milk and pour the mixture into the preheated jar
bull Variations on making yogurt bull You can see from the recommendations below that yogurt is pretty forgivinghellipand
that there is a lot of variety in ways that people make itbull You can also make yogurt in a yogurt maker bull You can take a quart jar and put it on top or your yogurt maker then cover the entire
thing with a bowl to keep it insulatedbull Irsquove covered a jar with a towel and put it into a gas oven with the pilot light onbull Wrap a heating pad around it Set heating pad on low Cover with a towelbull Irsquove also left jars near heating vents covered with a towelbull One of our participants just pours milk into a jar adds yogurt and puts it into her hot
tub for 12 hoursbull Another participant makes soy yogurt She Adds guar gum and agar to help give it a
thicker consistencybull And still another just heats half of the milk then mixes it with the hot milk so she
doesnrsquot have to wait for it to coolbull You can add a touch of your favorite probiotic Just add a bit so that the probiotics
have room to stretch out

Yogurt From the kitchen of Liz Lipski (makes 1 quart or liter)
INGREDIENTS1 quart or liter of whole Milk1 Tbsp15 ml Fresh live-culture plain yogurt (You can buy yogurt or use some from your last batch)
DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the jar and insulated cooler with hot water so that they will not drain heat from
the yogurt and it can stay warm to ferment2 Heat the milk until bubbles begin to form If you use a thermometer heat milk to 180degF
(82degC) Use gentle heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the milk The heating is not absolutely necessary but it results in a thicker yogurt
3 Cool the milk to 110degF (43degC) or the point where it feels hot but it is not hard to keep your (clean) finger in it You can speed the cooling process by setting the pot with the hot milk into a bowl or pot of cold water Donrsquot let the milk get too cool the yogurt cultures are most active in the above-body-temperature range
4 Mix starter yogurt into the milk Use just 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per quart (see notes below)5 Cap the jar and place it in the pre-heated insulated cooler If much space remains in the
cooler fill it with bottles of hot water (not too hot to touch) andor towels Close the cooler Place the cooler in a warm spot where it will not be disturbed ldquoYogurt has the added idiosyncrasy that it doesnrsquot care to be jostled while growingrdquo note Joy
6 Check the yogurt after 8-12 hours It should have a tangy flavor and some thickness If it isnrsquot thick (hasnrsquot ldquoyogedrdquo) warm it up by filling the insulated cooler with hot water around the jar of yogurt adding more starter and leaving it 4 to 8 more hours You can leave it to ferment longer if you wish It will become more sour as more of the milkrsquos lactose is converted into lactic acid A longer fermentation period can often make yogurt digestible even for lactose-intolerant individuals
7 Yogurt can store in the refrigerator for weeks though its flavor will become more sour over time Save some of the yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch
