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 other leafy greens for spinach, and leek for red onion.

    Haha, ironically, given that it is one of Felicity Cloake's "perfect" recipes, I am simply relieved that this turned out OK! I decided to make a spiral instead, like the Waitrose spanakopita. After I started in a 23 cm tin, I realised I'd have to transfer it to a 20 cm tin. The transfer went OK. Then as I was about to put it in the oven, I realised that I had forgotten to add the eggs! I tried to dismantle it then decided it would risk it all disintegrating, so, instead, I poured the beaten egg on top. Never mind, the imperfect spankopita is good enough for its destiny of a cosy family supper.
