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.

    Good! Not memorable or that exceptional so I prob did something wrong, based on all the other rave reviews :)

    Absolutely lovely. I said to myself, “This is to much salt Molly” but trusted the process and man it delivered. Also, I don't like fennel. Didn't. I've just had it in the wrong dishes.

    A perfect weeknight meal for spring. Molly’s cooking method for crispy bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs is foolproof.

    First recipe out of this book and it was superb! The fennel blends really nicely with all the other elements to create nice complexity. Very bright and fresh with great instruction. Will make again for sure!

    I made this today for the first time. It was delicious.

    It’s been a while since I made this - but we LOOOVED it. The skin got super crispy and the vegetables all combine to create a lovely flavor.

    FAB-U-LOUS!!! So simple and so delicious. I had never cooked fennel before. Love the flavor with chicken and peas. This recipe has been added to the rotation.

    The cold pan method does indeed make for some beautifully crispy chicken skin! Don't be like me and keep a close eye on the peas in the final step - they go from a pretty bright green to a drab olive color quickly if you don't take them off the heat right on time.
