Hello,

I'm about to do some baking. The recipe includes curd cheese
(basically non-grainy cottage cheese) but it wasn't available at my
local store so I bought some cottage cheese instead. I'm starting to
have second thoughts now. Could I really replace curd by cottage and
expect something edible? I do have some yoghurt in my fridge, maybe I
should use that instead?

Please advice! TIA,
Emanuel Landeholm

Perhaps the cottage cheese could be pureed but absent your recipe no one can
offer other than wild speculation.

Ricotta works well......

How can you know what works without seeing the recipe?!?!?

I guess so, you substituted a trolly trailer for a home...... :-)

You do realize that Katra'inka lived in a trolly.

If you take the (presumably plain) yoghurt and drain it overnight in a
coffee filter or fine-weave tea towel you will have curd cheese anyway.
Nothing you do to cottage cheese will give it that texture of curd
cheese.
