[Sca-cooks] American Substitution and Translation

[yaini0625 at yahoo.com]

Hej Hej!
I have a new cookbook that have many recipes requiring quark and kvass.
What is quark called in the United States? I don't want to use cottage cheese. Any ideas for substitutions or recipes?
As for kvass, the book calls it "bread soup" but I also know it as an alcohol drink. Any ideas what this could be or use as a substitute?
