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

    I used roasted sweet potatoes (the skins are a cook's treat for me), no potato potatoes, and unpeeled pear cubes. It made my solitary Thanksgiving supper (I refuse to eat tofu on Thanksgiving with my vegan husband) quite the festival.

    Supposedly this recipe serves 6-8 as a side dish, well it sure made a mountain of mash. The pear is an interesting textural and flavour addition to what is essentially mashed sweet potato and potato with herb infused cream/milk. It's OK, certainly not offensive in any way but because it requires a firm yet ripe pear it will probably be one of those dishes that I never get around to buying the pear for again. I served it with lamb paloise from Joe Beef with some green beans and it all made for a good combination.
