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.

    Nice but I overcooked mine at 55 minutes- I thought I needed to wait for more color. I also didn’t have Poire William & should have used more vanilla instead of trying Calvados- as advised. It isn’t too sweet so the Calvados came through more than I expected. I made a compote with some extra pear in order to compensate for the dryness. Usually I make moist cakes with her recipes but for this one I should have checked it earlier.
