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.

    I also cheated and used store-bought puff pastry and made half a recipe. If you make the peaches and the pastry cream a day ahead, this comes together really quickly. An impressive looking dinner party-worthy summer dessert!

    Easy to make using store-bought puff pastry. I made 1/2 recipe using 3 peaches and 2/5 (2 egg yolks) of the pastry cream, which fit nicely into the tart shell. Despite docking, the pastry puffed up a lot during baking and the top layer crumbled when pressed down; fortunately it was covered by the pastry cream. This tart was really delicious, although a little messy to eat as the peach half kept sliding off the tart when I tried to cut bites with my fork.
