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.

    Made as the main dish for a Greek dinner party. Very easy to make. Prepped all components ahead including parboiling and smashing the potatoes and then adding everything to roasting tray when it was ready to go in the oven. Need a big size roasting dish to fit it all in nicely, potatoes didn’t get super crispy as they were covered a bit by the chicken. Delicious flavour. Need to learn how to carve a chicken properly to serve next time!
