I just found you Rekha and am so excited about your recipes all the new ideas. I was raised a vegetarian and have always loved cottage cheese and never thought of whipping or blending it. I’m going to try adding eggs and spices and using it as Mayo with your 3 ingredient bread recipe. Im hoping it will work. Mayonnaise and bread have always been a downfall for me. Thank you so much for sharing of your knowledge, talent and ideas!
