My Oma made Quark Kuchen for us when she visited Canada in 1959 but never left a written recipe. I was only 9 and not yet as enthusiastic with regard to baking as I am now. I have searched for the same recipe as hers for years but not yet found the right one.

The result is very smooth and creamy so no need to add anything to 'fatten it up'. That's one of the advantages - it seems so creamy but is low fat!

You can hang it overnight to let the liquid drip but even then it does not "harden" like paneer does. Hope that helps!Meeta K.

Just like "semicrunchmama," I too was an exchange student in Germany. When I came home to the states, I was only able to find quark at one little deli and it was ridiculously over priced!

When I was 16 I took part in an exchange program, and stayed with a family in Leverkusen, Germany. Every morning I'd enjoy fresh rolls smeared with quark and my host mother's homemade jam.

When I was a girl my grandfather (German) told me when he was little he ate quark with boiled potatoes after mixing it with herbs, scallions, salt and pepper. I ate this for lunch many times with him, but I thought he made it up! His simple version was half sour cream and half cottage cheese.
