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.

    Right, I’ve spent 20 minutes trying to edit my previous note but it never worked so I’m making another note: This ended up a bit of a dud — well, it was okay. But really way too much work for the end result.

    Made this using a hand-Mouli rather than a food processor but it was fine. This recipe is, as noted below, very equipment heavy. Had a bit of trouble with the pesto; I wonder if a bought pesto would have been fine.

    I used an enormous butternut squash for this and it yielded barely enough squash for one layer of gratin. I would guess I'd need 3 x the amount to actually make a gratin which would mean a ton of work prepping squash. This might work with pre-cubed or even frozen squash but I doubt I'd make it again. I used vegan pesto.

    Very good, but a lot of work (& dishes / 2 uses of food processor) for a weeknight; Mix basil into squash & parm into pesto so top isn't crunchy
