Hi Bella, Yes. Cottage cheese is the most difficult. There are several
possibilities. You can use a yogurt starter or probiotic starter to make
Yogurt, and then strain the yogurt to make yogurt cheese. I do this using
organic dried milk powder. No idea whether it is kosher.
Or you can get kefir grains and make kefir. I did this a while, but
didn;t like the taste as much,
I am not Orthodox. However, it is my understanding that one may relax the
rules when seriously ill. For instance, not fasting on Yom Kippur. If you
have little strength, can you start by using Nancy's Cottage cheese, and
start to make your own when you are ready to do so? Rhoda
