    Can substitute the book's "Meat essences" or chicken broth for meat broth, beef chuck for beef skirt steaks, and Italian sausages for pork loin.

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.

    See @ntt2 comment below. It’s a fact. If I’m feeling extra ambitious, I’ll use this in lasagne with homemade pasta.
