Curd So Good

Urban Life - 30 August 2007

Here’s something for people watching their fat intake - fromage frais, a fresh curd cheese that’s popular in Europe.

It tastes like a thicker version of yogurt and despite having zero fat, is pretty rich on its own. Mask the tartness by drizzling runny honey over it, or by stirring in a spoonful of your favourite jam.

If you prefer savoury food, use the cheese in dips that call for yogurt, or as a topping for a baked potato, with salt, pepper and a sprinkling of chopped scallions.

Fromage frais, $14.75 for a 1kg tub, from Carrefour supermarkets.
