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 nutmeg for mace, and oranges or limes for lemons.

    These are very good, particularly given that they're made with cottage cheese (I used full fat) and have less fat than bars made with cream cheese. Good strong lemon flavor and a firm crust that stored well over a few days. The ground mace in the crust was a nice extra flavor. The cheese filling is thickened with a small amount of flour and therefore isn't as smooth as some other cheese fillings I've had, but it's not super-noticeable when eaten in combination with the crust. I used butter instead of vegetable spray on my aluminum baking pan and the crust stuck a bit so next time I'll use spray or will line the pan with foil.
