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.

    Requires good quality ingredients (making beans from scratch, good stock), and also cooking for sufficient time. The end result is truly exceptional then.

    Good but not great

    The key to this is to use really good stock, which made this delicate yet delicious. I served it with cheese scones which went perfectly along with a glass of dry white wine.

    Agree with Sturlington. Too bland. Surprising, because Alice is usually spot-on; case in point her excellent Turkey Soup with Kale and Spicy Cauliflower Soup.

    Requires dried white beans. A little bland.
