You often ask me what kind of cottage cheese (or curd cheese or farmer's cheese - call it what you want) I use in the recipes.

In Hungary metric units are in use, all the recipes on this website are based on this system, so a kitchen scale is necessary.

The values in brackets, therefore, are only approximate volumes, so, please, double-check them before you start cooking.
