But what really makes a gyro for me is the yogurt, the crucial part of so many wonderful Greek dishes.

What is even more shocking is that this core element of Greek cuisine, a simple Greek food recipes, is capable of being made right in your home, and it’s easy to boot. All one needs is whole or full fat milk, whether it be sheep’s or cow’s milk and a couple tablespoons of either some previously homemade yogurt, or just simple non-flavored store bought yogurt with active live cultures. If you are wondering, yes it is more than fine that your whole/full fat milk is pasteurized; the key here is the active live cultures in those couple table spoons of yogurt.

Start by letting all the ingredients settle to room temperature, one quart of your whole/full fat milk, the two tablespoons of yogurt, and two tablespoons of the same milk that you will set aside. Take the one quart of your whole/full fat milk and heat it to right at the boiling point, and then transfer it to a non-metallic container of your choice. Once you let this cool back down to lukewarm, or about 100 degrees, a film or skin should begin to form on the surface of the milk.

At this point you will need the couple tablespoons of your yogurt. Take your yogurt and mix it with the couple tablespoons of room-temperature whole/full fat milk you have set aside. Once combined add it to your lukewarm milk, pouring along the sides of the container taking special care to not disturb to the film or skin that is resting on the surface.

At this point you are almost done, simply cover the container with a couple clean dishtowels and let it sit in a warm and dry place for eight to twelve hours, until it thickens. The longer you let the yogurt rest the more bitter it will become, so use your own discretion. Also remember that you can strain this yogurt to make an even thicker version of this Greek staple we all love.

The premiere episode follows fifteen hopefuls as they arrive at the Food Network Star Kitchen in New York City.  The fifteen wannabe stars will be divided among the three team leaders who hand selected them – Bobby Flay, Giada De Laurentiis, and Alton Brown.  Watching as a Food Network Star Returns for Eighth Season with Star-Studded Challenges will no doubt entice viewers.

After the teams are divided, special guest Robert Irvine will challenge each team to create a pop-up restaurant on a very limited budget.  Each episode will also feature a “Producer’s Challenge” where the contestants up for elimination must produce a television segment.

“Having Bobby, Giada and Alton compete against each other to discover and develop the next Food Network Star took this series to a whole new level,” said Bob Tuschman, General Manager and Senior Vice President, Programming and Production, Food Network. “These three iconic star/producers are ideal mentors for the talented hopefuls they found – but it’s hard to say if the competition was more intense among the finalists or their three Star mentors.”

The taste will be different from Margarita or Gourmet pizzas where you find a lot of sauce and toppings made of chilies, and tomato pulps. Your diet pizza will be having all you need- chunks of olives, vegetable, chicken, and cheese, but it is planned specifically with non-oily ingredients.  This type of pizza is good for you if you are looking to get rid of extra body pounds or want to keep away from extra calories to maintain your body weight. You can go for Vegan pizza, which cuts down on the cheese and fats brining fresh vegetable on the table onto the crush with almost no unhealthy toppings at all. Pizza is said to have four combinations of ingredients at once and these include vegetable, meat, diary, and bread, and a good pizza is one that contains all of them in a correct proportion.
