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.

    Said to be the national dish of Poland, I first had it in Australia. Tried this for someone whose late mother made it. No idea how authentic this version is, but it was tasty in mid-winter. Based on other recipes & whim, I improvised freely. Substituted smoked turkey thigh for bacon, used turkey sausage, just 1 pound beef plus 1/2 pound pork. Skipped the caraway, swapped sweet wine with dry red, added bay leaves & 2 tart chopped apples. Doubled the onion & the cooking time. Might make it again some chilly day.
