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.

    Can substitute Frangelico, Strega or Port wine for Marsala wine.

    Took much longer than the suggested 1 hour cooking time, so I was surprised that the web link indicates only 30 mins cooking time. Using our oven thermometer, it took just shy of 1.5 hours & was still slightly oozing in the centre. It was tasty & very rich. I suspect the quality of the dark chocolate would influence the flavour significantly as this was the dominant flavouring, more so than the pears, pistachio nuts or orange zest.
