    I think that curd is an ingredient that almost everybody had in our childhood and it brings me a lot of good memories, with my mother cooking delicious desserts as cheesecakes, well, I haven?t tried it for a while so I?m to find the time to make one of these, all of them sound delicious?

    No way!! I can’t believe that making cheese curds would be so…relatively easy. I mean.. you never really can tell just how easy or difficult it will be to follow through with a recipe, but these do look pretty straight forward. I won’t be tryign the eel recipe, sorry, I’m not that courageous, but the others all look fantastic.
