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.

    Begun today. A little painful to pick all those leaves! Perhaps a paste next time :) UPDATE: The leaves are delicious! They ferment really well, quite fizzy during the fermentation time.
