"I prefer to regard a dessert as I would imagine the perfect woman: subtle, a little bittersweet, not blowsy and extrovert. Delicately made up, not highly rouged. Holding back, not exposing everything and, of course, with a flavor that lasts."
Graham Kerr (the Galloping Gourmet)


"The dessert crowns the dinner. To create a fine dessert, one has to combine the skills of a confectioner, a decorator, a painter, an architect, an ice-cream manufacturer, a sculptor, and a florist. The splendour of such creations appeals above all to the eye - the real gourmand admires them without touching them! The magnificence of the dessert should not allow one to forget the cheese. Cheese complements a good dinner and supplements a bad one."
Eugene Briffault

Ingredients

1 cottage cheese and oil
1 pastry (1)
1 for brushing:
1 oz (30g) soft butter or marg.
1 filling:
2 tbsp (heaping) sugar
1 package vanillin sugar
1 3/4 oz (50g) currants (washed and

Preparation

roll out the pastry to a rectangle 14X18 (45X35cm) and brush with the
fat. FOR THE FILLING: mix together the filling ingredients and
distribute evenly over the pastry. Starting from the shorter side,
roll up like a swiss roll. Then use a sharp knofe to cut off slices
about 1 1/4 in. (1 1/2cm) thick. Lay these on a greased baking sheet
and flatten slightly. OVEN: preheat for 5 min. at very hot BAKING
TIME: 15-20 minutes FOR THE ICING: sieve the icing sugar and blend
with as much of the water as will give a good coating consistency.
Ice the currant wheels while still hot
