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.

    This was good, a nice summer farro. Very rich from the chicken stock, I think I’d replace some of it with the water next time. Corn was a nice pop of sweetness. I added marinated bocconcini and I’d do that again. The house smelled incredible, drawing my eleven-year-old to the kitchen. “Mom, whatever you’re making smells INSANE.”

    There should be bacon in the ingredients list!
