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 asparagus or spinach for samphire.

    I never knew I had seven samphire recipes in my books. I do not usually buy samphire because it is so expensive, so I grabbed three bags when it was reduced to clear. This recipe turned out delicious, even though I was tired & made a few mistakes which I had to correct (eg adding "the" knob of butter all at the start instead of "a" knob). I substituted: spring onions for shallots; dill & coriander for tarragon & chervil; wholewheat tagliatelle for linguine. One family member who had said they were not hungry & did not want dinner took a second helping; so did another family member who said they do not like samphire because it just tastes of salt whilst eating their second helping. Haha!
