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 decent pumpkin pie.

    I agree with Emily, the spices were a little too heavy. I will not repeat this one.

    This was a fine pumpkin pie but a little too heavy on the spices for our taste (and I toned down the cloves to 1/4 teaspoon) and not especially memorable. Took longer than the indicated time to bake, but we just got a new oven so that may have been the issue. Would be interested to try the variation with marscarpone (and fiddle with the spice ratio) but wouldn't repeat the main recipe. Used a crust from Pie Camp.
