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.

    Used orange zest instead of strips of peel. Good, but too much of an orange flavour that didn’t allow the other flavours to come out.

    Beautiful comfort food dessert! Everyone loved the rich flavours and the plums were perfect. Will definitely make again.

    I did not make the plums part of the recipe, but the rice pudding on it's own is already delicious enough. Truly comfort food in winter. I don't have a gas burner so I tried to make the caramel layer under the grill, but that turned out to be very uneven with burned spots in some places and unmelted sugar. Next time I'll skip that.
