LIPTAUER CHEESE
The journalist Joseph Wechsberg introduced many Americans to the pleasures of Austro-Hungarian food, including this liptauer spread. The recipe is adapted from "The Cooking of Vienna's Empire," Mr. Wechsberg's 1968 entry in the Time-Life Foods of the World series. Cottage cheese and butter are the base for paprika, caraway seeds and briny capers. This dip is a fine accompaniment for crudités or hearty slices of rye on a brisk autumn afternoon.

Steps:
- 1. 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.
- 2. 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.
- **3.**Serve this with bread or poppy-seed bagels, gherkins, and, if you like, some chopped red onions.
Tips:
- Choose the right cheese: Liptauer cheese is traditionally made with a combination of cream cheese, quark, and blue cheese. For a vegetarian version, you can use a combination of cream cheese, cottage cheese, and blue cheese. You can also use other types of cheese, such as goat cheese or feta cheese.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, and dill, add a lot of flavor to Liptauer cheese. Be sure to use fresh herbs whenever possible.
- Don't over-mix the cheese: Over-mixing the cheese will make it tough and rubbery. Mix the cheese just until it is combined.
- Serve with crackers or bread: Liptauer cheese is traditionally served with crackers or bread. You can also use it as a spread for sandwiches or wraps.
Conclusion:
Liptauer cheese is a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you are a vegetarian or not, you are sure to enjoy this classic Austrian dish.
