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.

    We made this over the weekend and it’s so good! I did double the recipe as I’m expecting a baby and wanted some for the freezer…but with mashed potatoes this was incredible and actually besides time yes another person stated “brilliantly simple.” I love hunk this would also be incredible over polenta!

    Brilliantly simple and oh! So delicious. It does take 48 hours, but there is very little to do. We followed her direction to serve with buttery pappardelle, and it made a superb mid-week birthday evening meal accompanied by a very special 20+ year Rioja. There are many such recipes with more ingredients and more stages, but they are unlikely to produce any better results.
