The VLT has opened up the possibility to perform spectroscopic surveys of large numbers of young low-mass stars which are still deeply embedded in their parental clouds. Our infrared spectra show a rich variety of features due to ices and gas-phase molecules, each of which trace different aspects of the physical and chemical state of the objects. Highlights include fundamental new insight into the structure of interstellar ices; the first detection of solid methanol in low-mass protostars, a key ingredient for building more complex organic molecules; direct evidence for significant freeze-out in edge-on circumstellar discs; and sensitive limits on minor ice components such as ammonia and deuterated water.
