Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Made this several times included basil from the garden. The pistachios add real depth to the dish. Will make when ever garlic scapes are in season.

    p. 52 Another hit from this book! We can’t seem to get enough of garlic scapes when they’re available and though I have a favourite GS Pesto recipe, I was keen to try this version since it called for pistachios instead of the usual pine nuts. We thoroughly enjoyed this version and in fact, we preferred the pistachios, which imparted more of a nutty flavour to the dish and somehow made it seem heartier. Fresh pod peas, sugar snap peas and cremini also went into the dish. Next time I think I'd add some basil into the pesto mix to further enhance the fresh flavours. Excellent!
