Lasagne with Cheryl Hole
Are we all just walking lasagnes? Andi Oliver and Cheryl Hole get deep inside the layered history and science of the iconic pasta dish.
Andi Oliver meets drag queen and star of RuPaul's Drag Race UK Cheryl Hole to discuss her favourite food - lasagne. Cheryl's a true diva who prefers to be cooked for, but she can still turn out a mean Essex lasagne, just as her mum did.
Andi and Cheryl learn about the greedy friar whose lasagne gluttony made it into a 13th-century Italian poem, get geeky about how swelling starch molecules hold the key to the perfect bΓ©chamel, and both Andi and Cheryl admit to some frankly shocking cold lasagne related behaviour.
