Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Calvados sorbet (Sorbet au Calvados); Soufflé omelette filled with apples flavoured with rum (Omelette aux pommes); Madeleine cakes (Madeleines); Spice bread (Pain d'epices); Rich yeast cake with sultanas (Kugelhopf); Butter cake (Gâteau Breton)

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.
