Both are vegan substitutes for gelatin, which is used to thicken most commercially-made yogurts. Jessica — have you tried agar-agar or guar gum?

Mine is a lot more mild than plain store-bought yogurt. I think store-bought is too sour now. Only thing is, I mainly eat vegan now and can't make good soy yogurt. The acidity from the yogurt curdles my soy milk, or the finished product is grainy and extra watery. I've tried adding more sugar, thickeners (flour, rice flour, corn starch, tapioca starch) but can't get consistent results. Any suggestions? Hi Vanessa,

Laurie Colwin is the best. I've recently been reading her "Home Cooking" and "More Home Cooking" books on the subway - they are just that good! Lisa, I was pretty happy with my yogurt too... I think I'm going to try experimenting with the milk, maybe something fresh and creamy from the farmers market. Yeah! Laurie Colwin is the best.
