Home-made Cottage Cheese
In the "World All-stars" version of Top Chef ™, Chef Ali made his own cottage cheese. This is easier than most people think, and worlds cheaper than buying it off the shelf.
The usual process is to heat skimmed milk, then add an acid (typically a good vinegar, but lemon juice works, too) and then let it sit to form curds and drain it through a fine sieve. Optionally, you can add some cream, but often, cottage cheese is enjoyed by people watching their fat intake, so this step is optional.

About Top Chef ™
Top Chef ™ is an American reality competition television series which has run since March 2006. The show features professional chefs competing against each other in culinary challenges.
The Top Chef ™ chef-contestants are judged by a counsel of exemplary, world-renowned professional chefs and famous names from the food and wine industry.
The contestants are superb, professional chefs with a huge array of global food skills.
The show is progressive, eliminating one or two chefs each week. Each episode follows a consistent theme with (usually) a Quickfire challenge (short and fun) followed by a more difficult "Elimination Challenge" that is much more intense. The Top Chef ™ Judges Table is where the winners and losers are determined each week.
