The Yum Yum Tree is synonymous with great chicken salad in Jacksonville. This is no ordinary chicken salad, and the folks that own the restaurant know it. Only white breast meat is used, and the combination of spices and seasonings that make up the rest of the salad are a mystery even to the most loyal of patrons. I’ve long since given up trying to recreate it, and console myself by visiting as often as possible when I get a chance to go to Jacksonville.

In terms of cookery, it’s unfortunate that herbs seem to have become the poor relations to spices as an addition to food. This may be because herbs are ubiquitous. They are in our gardens and all around us in the environment and they tend to have subtle flavours that gently enhance the flavours of food. In comparison, spices are far more brash. They have a tradition of being expensive and give a certain ‘oomph’ to food. Just think of chillies and black pepper. But is this comparison accurate? Do we really have to denigrate herbs as much as we seem to?

The process of yoghurt making is an ancient craft. It combines both art and science together. The microorganisms and their enzymes i.e. the yogurt starter culture play an important role during the production of yogurt. The transformation in the image of yoghurt from strictly a health food to one that has been promoted as fun to eat dessert with various flavours and aroma additives has been a phenomenal one. Milk should have a low bacterial count and substances, which may impede the development of yoghurt culture.
