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.

    Makes a LOT. Tasty, but not sure I’d make it again.

    My husband and I loved this unusual salad! We liked the juxtaposition of the cooked barley with the crunch of the pomegranates and celery. I made it to accompany a roasted salmon and asparagus dish, and it went really well with that. This is also visually beautiful and would make a pretty addition ( green and red) to a Christmas buffet.

    Thought it was rather boring. Don't think I'll be making it a second time, but it sure was easy to make.

    I really liked this. Might do a little less vinegar next time as the smell was a little overpowering but otherwise it's great.

    This was one of the prettiest salads I have ever made, but taste was just ok. A bit too crunchy. I am not sure I will make it again
