soya yoghurt
There is now a superb selection of soya yogurts widely available. Try the fruit-flavoured ones as a snack, or experiment with the natural-flavoured one in a large variety of recipes. You’ll find that this brings a creaminess to recipes, as well as added volume which is often very useful. It’s usually worth blending the yogurt with a hand-held electric blender to a smooth consistency before you use it, especially if adding to soups, sauces or fillings.
