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.

    This dessert follows the pattern of the simple Zuni starters or salads that consist of a few perfect ingredients layered together and allow you to experience every combination of them as you choose with your fork - delicious! I didn't want to waste any of the flesh or juice from the perfect little Satsumas that a friend gave me from her tree so instead of cutting off the peel with a knife, I peeled them by hand and carefully scraped off as much of the pith as possible. I often find dates too sweet but they were perfect here. I think one could turn this into a starter by adding some salty prosciutto and maybe a drizzle of vinaigrette but it's pretty darn perfect as is.
