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.

    Oh boy while it was delicious, there was a lot of cursing on the way to finishing this dessert! The pastry was really difficult to work with and behaved really badly, was very sticky and difficult to roll out and had gaping cracks once baked. Everything else was wasn’t too much of an issue and the finished tart was lovely. Note that the recipe makes enough pastry for 2 tarts, I’m scared of part 2!
