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.

    I agree with others - very comforting, rich and tasty. I used sour cream as I didn't have creme fraiche, and served with boiled carrots. I upped the potatoes and still only had enough to serve four - the 500g she suggests seems far too little to serve 8 as indicated in the recipe!

    Very nice - I can see why it's in the comfort food chapter, it's very gentle and soothing. I didn't add the creme fraiche to the sauce, it had enough body on its own. As Melyinoz said, it needs another vegetable, so I did steamed broccolini.

    I've made this dish twice now. It's not as punchy in flavour as some of DH's other recipes, but it has its own appeal. It is not a complete meal, it needs an additional side. I like it with steamed broccoli.
