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.

    p. 97 Maybe it was the pork belly I got but this recipe was terrible. I made this for our Christmas Eve dinner and there was nothing good about it. The pork was simply too fatty to enjoy and it never got crispy or blackened no matter what I tried. We definitely won't try this again.
