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.

    A comforting dish, as the other reviewer said. Warm flavors, nothing too fancy or complex, but a really solid version of chicken and cashews. For once I really enjoyed eating a lot of celery, too!

    Very nice stir-fry with comforting, savory flavors - I always think of chicken noodle soup when I eat this dish! With a relatively short ingredient list and no "stages" in the stir-frying, it comes together pretty quickly. Uses *lots* of celery which is super since I always seem to have more than I need in the refrigerator. Recipe says to dice celery - I did a 1/4" dice which worked well and still had some crispness after cooking. When I first looked at the book photo, I thought the large green chunks were celery and I thought "that's a big dice!," but looking more closely, I think they're probably green peppers - recipe headnote mentions adding a pepper as an option.
