The Food Swap Shop



“Do you want to swap a loaf of homemade bread for a batch of your yoghurt?” asked my friend recently. Hell yes!! I thought…

To give you a little bit of background info I recently started making yoghurt in this super compact little yoghurt machine which, over a 10hrs period, produces 7 little glass jar of yoghurt. It’s sooo easy. You need 1 liter of milk (organic whole milk for best results) and 1 small pot of natural yoghurt (organic full fat for best result) to produce 7 small jars of yoghurt. And the best thing is that after your first batch you can use your own yoghurt for the next batches for up to 10 times. It’s creamy, super fresh and more delicious than any yoghurt I’ve ever tasted before. Plus eating out of a glass jar just makes it so much better than the plastic pots. I think the machine already paid for itself as we started consuming a serious amount natural yoghurt weekly since we have the machine. We eat it for breakfast, blend it into smoothies, mix it into baby food and also enjoy it as dessert with fruits or compotes.

It was not planned at all but almost at the same time one of our best friends and close neighbor got into making his own bread from scratch. If you think I’m a foodie wait until you meet him. He means serious business when it comes to food. And oh my, his bread is amazing and delivered when still hot!!! One of life greatest pleasure has to be taking the first slice of freshly baked homemade bread.

Our little weekly event got me thinking. How cool would it be to have a circle of trusted friends and foodies who are all specializing in a different type of home made deliciousness’ and began swapping every week. Bread, yoghurt, jam and God knows what else are being made with love and care in modern foodie households. Wouldn’t it be awesome!? A food swap shop!  :) Any takers?




The big jar in the photo contains 6 of the small jars and 1 left for the next batch. What a deal!
