Tips & Tricks:
To prevent yoghurt from separating when heated, stir it through the dish at the last minute or stabilise it first. To stabilise yoghurt heat it in a pan with 1 egg white and 1 teaspoon of seasalt. Stir uncovered (in one direction only) for 10 minutes.

Cooking Tips:
Sheep's yoghurt is particularly good in tzatziki salad and desserts when you want a smooth, creamy consistency.
Serve over poached pears with a drizzle of warmed honey, cinnamon and roasted walnuts.
