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 any other chilli flakes for Aleppo chilli flakes.

    I liked this a lot! The topping - tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs, pepitas, olive oil - is everything and makes a big difference on the flavor. I found it a little bitter, but I think that's cuz my garlic was maybe a little old.

    The 80’s shot glass style chilled soup. Fun in small doses for a dinner party maybe. Not for a whole meal

    Refreshing and savory. Serves two as a main course. Pine nuts a fine sub for pumpkin seeds.

    Unlike the others, I really enjoyed this soup. I found it refreshing and love the cucumber and herb flavors, with the tahini offering a savory note.

    The contrast of crunchy and spicy pumpkin seeds with the coolness of the cucumber + herb soup is interesting, but this wasn't my favorite, but my husband loved it.
