Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Mexican meat loaf

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

    My favorite recipe. Always get requests for this. I use frozen corn, but make sure the corn is still fresh-tasting & hasn't been in the freezer too long. For those who need to avoid dairy products, I've had some success substituting canned coconut milk for the cream BUT results are very variable. Suggest you use the cream as your first choice if at all possible. Recipe multiplies easily. Really wonderful recipe!
