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.

    Quite good. Not actually pie, but rather pudding parfaits using traditional banana cream pie components - much easier to scale down for 2 servings. I used Dorie's pastry cream as it's less sweet and rich; it was plenty rich for this and just sweet enough. I chilled the pastry cream prior to assembly, but should have folded in the bananas before the cream stiffened. Made 1/4 (rather than 1/3) of the mascarpone whipped cream (with cream cheese instead of mascarpone) and thought that amount was sufficient. My ramekins were 4" wide and nearly full; servings were generous.
