Wait a sec. Why is pastry precluded by any of the above? You can shorten
with a variety of fats, ranging from olive oil to vegtetable shortening,
with good results. I'm just curious; there may a perfectly good reason
that I can't see.

As for a mushroom dish, it occurs to me that if you're going to produce
a catch-all vegetarian protein dish for both the total vegetarians and
those with various allergies and intolerances (while I will cheerfully
cater to the needs of such people, wusses who simply don't like
vegetables, etc., can, as my grandma used to say, verblatz) , you might
be better off with a bean dish, which is probably less likely to cause
allergic reactions than mushrooms, statistically (I think!). Beans have
more protein anyway, AFAIK.
