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.

    I needed Cajun spice for another recipe and since I didn't have any pre-mixed, I searched for a recipe to make my own and this one came up. There were a few other versions in other cookbooks of mine, but the blend of herbs and spices in this one seemed the most appealing to me. I couldn't get my bay leaves to pulverize in my mini chopper though, so I ended up omitting them instead of having big chunks in the mix. And I'm kind of a wimp when it comes to spicy food, so since I didn't have any white pepper, I left it out, but used the full amounts of black pepper and cayenne as directed. I don't know how hot it really is because it was only one small component of the other dish I made, but I found it was a very flavorful seasoning without being too hot. And now I have some extra on my spice rack for the next time I need it!
