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.

Notes about this recipe

  • Eat Your Books

    Uses the book's "My citrus shrine" for preserved lemons and preserved oranges.

    This is a mixed-citrus, chess-style pie that uses the salt-preserved citrus rind that Vivian calls "Citrus Shrine" p 140. Fresh orange and lemon juice add brightness to the mellow, slightly savory flavors of the preserved rind. The header notes tip us off that this is not a super tart & tangy lemon pie but it's also not overly sweet like some lemon desserts - we're supposed to be rocked but not shaken. I made a half recipe in a six-inch pie pan. The blind bake time/temp given was insufficient for me to get the bottom crust cooked. The photo in the book shows tons of thick chunks of rind on top while the directions say to cut it very thin and fold it into the custard so mine doesn't have the caramelized bits on top but still tasted good. I think this is best after sitting a bit to let the flavors of the rind diffuse into the custard.
