I bet even Britain’s ’Mary, Queen of Cakes’ will be surprised to learn she’s become the star attraction of Jewish social media threads during the current 2019 Passover week.
This time, though, it’s not because of a no-fail cake recipe, but because of a non-dairy vegetable lasagne that is suitable year-round for a kosher diet and that I altered to make it appropriate for the traditional ‘seder’ dinner by substituting pasta strips with matza sheets. I softened these slightly without soaking them by passing them through running cold tap water before placing them on the dish.
Any readers here interested in having a go, either with pasta or matza. wil find the original recipe in the vegetarian section of this whopping cookey encyclopedia - always a pleasure to use.
Mary Berry’s Complete Cookbook is available from Amazon on Kindle and in hardback.
