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 didnt turn out well for me at all. I didn't like that the recipe said "at least 1/4 cup of lemon juice." It felt confusing to me. At least? Is more better? No measurement for the zest. I found the measurements way off as well, especially for the flour. The cake was an unappealing grey color due to the huge amount of poppy seeds and tasted very bland. Would not make again.
