The journalist Joseph Wechsberg introduced many Americans to the pleasures of Austro-Hungarian food, including this liptauer spread. The recipe is adapted from "The Cooking of Vienna's Empire," Mr. Wechsberg's 1968 entry in the Time-Life Foods of the World series. Cottage cheese and butter are the base for paprika, caraway seeds and briny capers. This dip is a fine accompaniment for crudités or hearty slices of rye on a brisk autumn afternoon.
