GERMAN QUARK

You will need a covered pyrex baking dish or similar along with a large colander and a cheesecloth or plain linen.

AUSTRIAN TOPFENPALATSCHINKEN - AUSTRIAN SWEET CRêPES
A very traditional and extremely delicious Austro-Hungarian dessert, that goes back quite some time. As i couldn't find it on food.com i decided to post my version in here. I hope you'll enjoy it! If you can't get hold of curd you might as well use Ricotta, or a mixture of half Ricotta - half Cream-Cheese. Using low cal products is absolutely fine, but remember: the higher the fat content, the more flavour you usually get :). I converted the European measurements to their US equivalents, but don't hesitate to experiment and decide for yourselves, whether you like it a hint sweeter, thinner, ... etc.

DESSERT CREPES WITH STRAWBERRY CREAM FILLING
Yummy!! This recipe will knock the socks off any guest! This recipe my mother originally found out of a cookbook, but unfortunately I do not know which. This works well with both frozen and fresh strawberries. I'd imagine almost any fruit could be substituted as well. (Prep time does not include chilling of strawberries).
