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.

    I made this as part of Christmas Eve dinner. It got rave reviews but I wasn't really into the breadcrumbs with the mussels, though both the mussels and breadcrumb elements were great on their own.

    p. 128 - Well, the ice finally broke yesterday and mussels made their way to Southern Ontario for the first time this month. Trust me, I was on mussel-alert and arrived at the fishmonger’s shop bright and early to ensure I had my fair share! I love mussels and clams so I’ve been keen to make this dish since I first looked through the book. Subsequent reviews here have only further piqued my interest. What separates Norman’s version from the rest in my view are his delicious breadcrumbs. I was judicious in my use of the chilies as well and needless to say this dish was a knock-out! Plenty of bread is required to sop up the sensational broth. Outstanding! Photos here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/1009437?commentId=9539970#9539970
