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.

    Oh, this was very good! To make a little in advance, I washed and chopped the kale, and made the salad dressing.

    Really enjoyed this. I quickly sautéed the kale and let it cook before adding the dressing for a slightly softer texture.

    I made the dressing 1 day ahead and used most of it (unusually for Ina's recipes) - I find that kale needs extra dressing. It's important to toss the kale with dressing when Ina says (before cooking pancetta) because it softens a bit. Doubled the croutons, as they were delicious. Overall, really good, although my family does not love kale.
