Chocolate Pecan Pie

Nov 12, 2020 | Blog, Kosher Recipes

Mary Berry was a guest lecturer on one of the regular riverboats we use. She gave the pastry chef her recipe for chocolate pecan pie. The pastry chef asked if she wouldn’t mind if she used the Kosher River Cruise recipe instead. Graciously she agreed.

In the end Mary Berry preferred our recipe over hers. So now you can make this delight at home.

Another successful experience

Our experience was unique in that we were able to tour a lot of territory and a variety of places with minimal inconvenience. The fact that our boat was always with us and there were no long bus rides or waits made this mode of travel extremely enjoyable.
