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.

Notes about this recipe

    My first time trying venison and this was a really excellent introduction. I did make some changes though since I was making do with what I had on hand -- I omitted the celery, orange, and juniper berries; and substituted chicken broth for beef broth, shallots for onions, and apple juice for brandy. (I didn't have any brandy and found this non-alcoholic substitution suggestion online.) I made 1/3 of this recipe to serve 3 people vs. the larger group the recipe was intended for. All the ingredients fit well into my 3.5 quart slow cooker. I didn't have quite enough potatoes and would definitely use the full amount next time. For the wine, I used a Merlot. I also omitted the balsamic vinegar accidentally as it was to be added at the very end and I forgot. Clearly, this is a pretty flexible recipe -- even with ingredients missing and others changed, it came out really well. My Dad went from super skeptical due to a previous bad experience with venison to declaring it really good!
