To the millions and millions of Greek yogurt fans out there, Julie Ann Sageer has a message.
"If you like Greek yogurt, you're going to absolutely fall in love with Lebanese yogurt," said Sageer, better known as Julie Taboulie, a resident of Marietta near Otisco Lake and host of "Cooking with Julie Taboulie" on WCNY-TV.
The Lebanese-style yogurt is called laban, (or labneh when the whey is strained from the curds, as is done in the product most Americans know as Greek yogurt).
Sageer, as Julie Taboulie, will demonstrate how to make make laban and labneh at 3 p.m. Sunday, during the annual Middle Eastern Cultural Festival at St. Elias Orthodox Church in the town of Onondaga. The fest will also offer versions of labneh on its menu for the first time this year.
