Just watched river cottage and seen him make his yoghurt, all he did was boil some milk and add some yoghurt to it and it all turned to yoghurt, is it realy that easy?

I saw that too Jamie. It would appear so, but it must be live yoghurt so not just quite any old yoghurt.

Yes, of course!  :) 

You can heat up milk and add either vinegar or lemon juice, plus a bit of live yogurt to make your own yogurt or you can buy yogurt kit called Easiyo. Also there are electric yogurt makers. Depends on how much you love yogurt

I have an Easiyo, have made yogurt from a starter and done the vinegar thing above. There are some lovely live yogurts out there and I really like Little Bird Biogard or the Yeo from the supermarkets.  Express Dairies one is the brand we found was best as a starter when we experimented in our curry class  :)

You just have to get the temperature of the warmed up milk just right, don't actually boil it, but like Hugh said, just until it is the warmth of bathwater!  

I have done yogurt in a thermos and sometimes it turns out well, other times it is too runny or a bit curdled looking!  It's just a case of experimenting until you know you've got it just right, or like CQ said, buy a yogurt maker.  I got one once from a boot fair, but gave it to my daughter as her girls were mad on yogurt at the time.

I'm off into Chester (hate towns!) tomorrow to buy an electric yogurt maker. My Mum used to use the airing cupboard to make yogurt but most of us don't have them these days, and if they do the insulation is too good! So I thought I'd do the job properly. There is nowhere in this house costantly warm, as most homes these days people out working.

Have a look at the reviews for the one Lakeland sell.

If you make it and it is a bit on the runny side then strain it through a clean teatowel/muslin and it goes thick like greek yoghurt.

I like to use Onken Greek style Biopot......it has 3 different live cultures :)

If you buy the Easyo kits ...doesn't the yoghurt work out more expensive  :unsure:

Hmmm, don't see the point of easiyo. We all grow fruit, and home made jam or frozen berries are good flavourings, as is lemon curd. Not sure if buying stuff defeats the object of making your own. :dry:

I seem to recall that I'd heard the Easiyo ingredients are very dear. That aside, I think if I wasn't just buying the stuff ready made I would still rather trying going back to "first principles" a la Hugh F-W, than use a machine and I had though like our Jamie that I might give this method a go.

So would I if I had an airing cupboard or Aga, but our house is like an icebox half the day, and I've tried the flask method and it's too hit and miss. :ohmy:

Good Lord, who knew?!?

I managed to find the tv show online and can't quite believe it's that simple but when you think about it then it makes sense.  I am going to try this for myself and use some of the jam I made in august.  Am quite excited already.

As an aside, I checked out some of the River Cottage food courses and I can't quite believe they have a four day course for the small amount of... £850!  That's four days of course between the hours of 10am and 4pm.  The course I looked at was for 16 people, working out to just over 13 1/2 grand.  Seriously?
