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.

    So so delicious . However my white chocolate whipped ganache totally failed. It would NOT whip. I ended up making more chocolate ganwche and whipping that since I ran out of white chocolate.
