About this recipe:
This came from a former neighbour who was also a very distant relative by marriage. I made it with her (she was severely arthritic in old age and had not cooked alone for years) to be served at a party for some visiting relatives (hers, not mine). She was also medically forbidden any dairy and it was therefore made using non-dairy yoghurt. I tasted the version I made but, as some members may know, I have a total aversion to yoghurt so cannot attest to the flavour when made with the real thing.
