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.

    Great dish, but I would omit at least one of the whole eggs. The egg whites made the sauce a little runny, while more yolks make for a creamier sauce.
