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.

    Can substitute golden syrup for cane syrup.

    This sauce was delicious as a glaze for roasted brussel sprouts! We used the amount of pepper flakes as stated in the book and was just right. Quite spicy yes, but the sweetness balanced it nicely. Can’t wait to pair it with meats next.

    I LOVED this sauce! This came with the ribs but im sure this can pair well with other meats as well. So good!

    Delicious sauce, I only used half of the red pepper flakes asked for and used it on the ribs the day the sauce was made and it was very, very spicy. However, the leftover ribs mellowed out overtime, so definitely make it days ahead of usage.

    Made the is to go with pork ribs, also in this book. Absolutely delicious sauce! Will go great with many things. Sauce needed more than a few minutes to reduce to the desired thickness. Also used half the chili because we’re wimps. So happy with the results.
