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.

    Very nice dinner - made the whole things with just a few mods. My chicken was more like 5# so I roasted at 375 for closer to 1.5 hours. I did more potatoes, and after adding the caraway butter I slightly crushed them and added a bit more butter. Did forget that I like a little less sugar in my cucumbers, so need to remember next time. Didn't serve with a side of sour cream but did a salad with homemade ranch for the requisite creamy factor. Everyone enjoyed a lot.

    I didn’t have any cayenne pepper, so substituted with chilli flakes. My chicken was slightly overcooked, but that was due to my oven temp playing up. The dish was really well balanced and incredibly tasty when all of the elements were eaten together. Another great dish from this book. Next time I would use a big cucumber and cook more potatoes as, for me, there were not enough.

    Very good roast chicken recipe. I didn't make any of the accompaniments, but would like to try them next time, especially the pickled cucumber.
