LIPTAUER CHEESE A LA NIGELLA LAWSON
Lipatuer is a tangy, creamy cheese spread that is common throughout Austria, Hungary, and Bavaria. It is delicious with crackers, raw vegetables, and even better with sour pumpernickel bread. Cooking time is chilling time.

Steps:
- Beat the cream cheese and cottage cheese together until they are very smooth. Add the capers, cornichons, paprika, salt, pepper, caraway seeds, and mustard. Mix together well and turn into a 1-quart bowl lined with plastic wrap for easier unmolding later. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover with the overhanging plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator to set.
- When it has become cold enough to turn out - a few hours should do it - unwrap the folded-over plastic wrap on top, place a plate over the now uncovered bowl, turn it over, and unmold. Pull the plastic wrap off and drizzle over a rust-red ooze made by mixing the oil with the paprika.
- Serve this with bread or poppy-seed bagels, gherkins, and, if you like, some chopped red onions.

Steps:
- Put the strawberries into a bowl and sprinkle with balsamic vinegar and sugar. Stir before covering with plastic wrap and leaving to steep while you make the cheesecakelets.
- Mix the egg yolks with the sugar, beating well. Add the vanilla, cottage cheese, and flour. Then, in another bowl, whisk the whites until frothy with a hand whisk and fold into the cottage cheese mixture.
- Heat a smooth griddle or nonstick skillet and dollop the batter onto it make cakelets of about 3 to 4 inches in diameter. Each cheesecakelet will take a minute or so to firm up underneath, then you should flip it and cook the other side, and remove to a warmed plate when ready.
- Turn the strawberries in the ruby syrup they've made and squish some pieces with a fork at the same time. Serve with the hot cheesecakelets.
NIGELLA LAWSON ROASTED VEGETABLES WITH CHEESE
The best roasted vegetable recipe ever - originally from British chef Nigella Lawson's TV show. Original recipe called for halloumi cheese, but as I have trouble finding it I use any salty cheese - goat feta is wonderful; your suggestions welcomed. Have served it at many dinner parties to rave reviews, but simple enough for a weeknight. Use a large (9x11) pan - it makes a deceptively large amount. Great reheated the next day or in pitas for lunch. Warning - once you try it, you'll get cravings. Goes great with any grilled or roasted meat or serve it as a vegetarian meal.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Peel and cut the sweet potato into 2 inch cubes and put it in the pan. (Add each ingredient to the pan as you go.).
- Cut the red potato(es) into slightly smaller cubes 1-1/2 cubes (because they are denser than the sweet potato so they need to be smaller to cook in the same amount of time).
- Cut the red onion in the middle, then cut each half into 4-6 segments, discarding the dry outer skin. (the onion should still stay together in large chunks and will still have the end bit on).
- Cut peppers into 1 inch chunks (discard seeds and stem).
- Separate the cloves of garlic but no need to remove the skin.
- Add the oil and mix everything together with your hands (it's fun).
- Season with pepper, but no salt (it will make the dish watery).
- Cook for 45-55 minutes until vegetables are cooked through and the tinged with brown.
- Top with cheese and broil 5 minutes or so until brown.
- (If you want to omit the cheese, you can add a bit of coarse salt before serving.).
- Serve it right out of the pan at the table. Couldn't be easier or more delicious!
