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.

    Part of the suggested Winter Menus on P615. Can use "Kashk" recipe on P532 for store-bought kashk; kohlrabi for butternut squash; dried herbs for fresh; and sugar for grape molasses. See recipe for variations.

    "Mung bean and turnip soup" is an unfortunate name for such an interesting recipe. I made a trip to the Middle Eastern grocery to get kashk, which I've never tried before, to make this. I think a good substitute would be a mixture of something thick and creamy (yogurt, sour cream, or crème fraîche) with a strong, smelly, meltable cheese (like Brie).
