Wow, ur recipes are AMAZING! all of them.Ive been browsing through them and seeing how easy you make them and how good they look Ive become interested in cooking, much to my mum's delight!!
I just wanted to ask if the fresh cream can be substituted with fresh yoghurt instead? and if so would it be the same quantity as the cream?
Thanks a bunch!!
