Vanilla Pumpkin Spice Cottage Cheese Spread

September 27, 2016 By Food Retro

As I said in one of my previous posts (okay, maybe two), I’m a late-comer to appreciating cottage cheese. I don’t think I ever understood how versatile the product could be until I started messing around with it. You can substitute it for a lot of other cheeses like in lasagna, you can use it…

Polish Curd Cheese – Twaróg – Guest Author @TheEuropeanMama

March 17, 2014 By Food Retro

Twaróg - Polish Curd Cheese

As a Polish woman living abroad, I sometimes find myself craving Polish products. One of my very favourite products is Polish curd cheese, or twaróg (pronounced in Polish, “tvaroog”). Obviously, I could buy it in the Polish store near my house, and sometimes I do. But I’ve always wanted to try making it myself, and inspired by Anne,…
