"Food Safari, a new programme on Good Food Channel, It's Australian based but travels across the pceans in search of different foods and techniques. The soup is clear and full of flavour and it's the first ever try of Matzo balls and that hint of cinnamon really is surprising tasty! This recipe used passover certified Matzo meal which is baked darker."
