Recipe from our customer Tatyana Balakireva from the social network VKontakte. "I want to share with you how I cook homemade cottage cheese - not simple, but with walnuts," writes Tatiana. - It cooks quickly and is very similar to semi-hard cheese, and not the soft curd that we are used to seeing it. It is also tasty, with a touch of nut spice and very useful, as it is made with your own hands and you know exactly what products ."
