BREAKFAST AND BRUNCH

My Journey to Homemade Vegan Yogurt

Back in the olden days, early to mid 70s, when I was vegetarian and not vegan, I used to make my own yogurt. I had a square ceramic hotplate-type yogurt maker with four square eight-ounce glass jars. I’d throw a towel over the filled jars, and the base would keep […]
