eggs & dairy

Recipes and ideas with dairy products.

Raita

This delicious Indian sauce or dip always had a plain yogurt base, although the vegetables and seasoning vary from one recipe to other.

The thousand and one cheeses

Charles de Gaulle is reported to have once said 'How can you govern a country that has 246 kinds of cheese?' But whatever may have been the administrative skills of that old French soldier, he was right about one thing. There are a great many kinds of cheese in the world, a tribute to the inventiveness of cheesemakers.

Pairing wine and cheese

Do you wonder why serving cheese with wine is so popular? Cheese is salty and salt enhances the tasting experience for many wines. A medium wine served with cheese may look like a better one and a good wine may appear fabulous; but there is more to it.

Baby spinach salad

Baby spinach is tender and sweet, far gentler than mature spinach, and perfect raw in a salad. Here it's tossed with creamy avocado, sharp red onion, and crisp yellow pepper, then bound together with a tangy yogurt dressing. It comes together in fifteen minutes and makes a fresh, light lunch or a side that holds its own next to grilled meat or fish.

Is dairy good for you?

Calcium, calcium, calcium. The push for increasing calcium in your diet has been on the forefront of dairy producers for the last ten years. All we have been hearing about is drinking more milk and eating more dairy products to get the calcium levels up.

Spanakopita

This Greek spinach pie is one of the best known recipes in Greek cuisine. It is simple, although managing phyllo pastry may seem challenging the first two or three times. Serve spanakopita warm as a vegetarian main or side dish. Serve it cold as a snack or appetizer.
