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.

    Quick to throw together, filling and surprisingly creamy it almost tasted slightly cheesy without having any cheese in it. If you are really in a frugal pinch (and are open to foraging) nettles can be substituted for spinach, if you've never cooked nettles I assure you boiling them takes all of the sting out of them and they taste exceptionally similar to spinach and are very high in protein too, just obviously make sure you wash them first! The recipe as stated for us served 2 and in the year 2025 the individual cost of ingredients worked out at 95p per serving for us and even less if substituting spinach for nettles so quite affordable especially if you are looking for a meal that comes in at under £1 per serving.
