Simply place a coffee filter (cheese cloth)(you can buy these in every store)in a large strainer. Pour Plain yogurt into the filter. Draining overnight will give you a soft cream cheese-like consistency. This will keep for a week. This can be used as an alternative for sour cream or mayonnaise.
You can make tazitki with this. I make it all the time.

Sweet Balsamic Yogurt Cheese Dip

2 cups vanilla yogurt (low fat or fat free can be used)

Drain the yogurt for at least 6-8 hours. In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, lemon juice and brown sugar over low – medium heat until you have about ¼ cup. Let cool. Combine balsamic mixture, yogurt and cinnamon to taste. Spoon over strawberries or other fruit as desired.

How to whip cream
http://www.ehow.com/how_2089097_whip-cream.html
I take a Protein shaker and half fill with cream make sure the bar piece is in place. Put the lid on and shake. After 5 mins it should be much thicker. When I cook my favourite cream to use is Seoul Milk . Here in Suncheon they sell it at Emart. I like to make Pasta dishes with it .There is no sugar added. Often the other creams add sugar . They use the name whipping cream. I avoid these.
