I found Quark cheese online.  I have not checked out local supermarket so maybe they're there already:

Recipe Requests / Shiny chocolates

Hi Everyone,

Is there a way to make chocolates shiny?  Maybe mixing them longer at a certain heat?

Thanks,

Recipe Requests / Where to buy Agar Agar in Sydney, Australia
« on: February 17, 2013, 01:21:15 am »
Hello All,

I called Alfalfa House, an organic shope in Enmore, Sydney, Australia & 30 grams of Agar Agar is around $11 which I think is expensive.  As a child I remember my mother using a dried seaweed which looked a puffed paper-like substance which she dissolved in water.  Any alternative folks?

Thanks,
Cerise

Hello all,

Don't know how to post this properly as I am a newie so I cut-&-paste my earlier blog & I don't know where it went.  I think it's superfluous to post all of the recipe but this is how I cook it without oil.  I like pressing it because it cooks really quick.  Hope this helps.  Cheers, Cerise

Thank you all for welcoming me.  I apologise for throwing up on you all.  I mean that was the longest intro anyone has posted, I think.  This is the first forum I belong.  As a token of my appreciation, I was going to post a recipe that my daughter & I use for bonding ('cause it's lots of preparation - with a TM - I'm sure it won't be, as the vegies will be cut for me) which is making spring rolls.  You already have that here so I just want to add that I don't fry mine & eating it with raw rice paper is not as palatable.  Mine has sliced prawns (bought fresh, not cooked) & some minor additions like mung bean sprouts.  To brown them, I use my sandwich presser with a teflon coating on both sides.  Mine has a slider to regulate how much lower you want the presser to go so I just lower the lever enough not to squash the roll.  If I am in a hurry for it to brown, I just flatten it.  Ingredients are half cooked anyway & my guests do not mind them squashed as the taste is still there.  A girlfriend just bought a stoneware (you can fry with no oil) & she said she just rolls the spring rolls on it & they brown faster.  One lady here uses an oven & a mini one is great.  A little oil, especially if they are good oils, is good for the body so sometimes I spray oil.  My daughter is allergic to wheat so for her I use the Vietnamese rice paper & you don't need to fry that.  In the past, when I used to fry them, I got so fed up as, soon as a batch was taken off the fryer, they're gone even by the time the next batch is ready so I make sure the last one is for me; I made myself a whopper.  Hope the unfried bit is useful.

By the way, how long is this blog been going on?

Recipe Requests / Home-made chocolates versus shop-bought
« on: February 16, 2013, 02:17:39 pm »
Hello All,

Is there anything I can do to prevent my concocted chocolate from melting sooner at room temperature versus the shop-bought ones?  I used chocolate melts.  Could be my procedure or the type of chocolates I used?

Thank you.

Recipe Requests / Wafer biscuits
« on: February 15, 2013, 02:16:00 am »
Hi All,

Does anyone know how to make wafer biscuits without the fillings in-between the biscuit?

Or, does anyone know where I can buy them in Australia?

Thanks,

Recipe Requests / Cream cheese from scratch
« on: February 15, 2013, 02:00:53 am »
Hi All,

Do you have a quicker version of making cream cheese or a substitute for Philadephia cream cheese?  To make it, what I know is you hang a lump of yoghurt in a cheese cloth over a bucket for 2 days to let the whey drip.  Then when the yoghurt is liquid-free just season it with whatever you like.

For substitute would ricotta do?  I think they are cheaper.

Thanks,
Cerise
