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.

    Cold Chicken with Ginger and Spring Onion, page 50. I have seen this recipe elsewhere - sometimes it is called white cut chicken. This recipe turned out very well. I poached a whole 2.5 lb chicken in water flavored with a few slices of ginger and leeks (or white parts of spring onions) - (simmered for 30 min only) then took it out of the broth to cool. I served this to someone who loves to order this in the restaurant where they do not remove the skin, so I did not. For other guests, or a more formal meal I would have or would have poached boneless thighs and pre-sliced the meat. I served this with steamed rice and greens sautéed with garlic. I particularly love the accompanying sauce. As this is served cold ( I actually served it room temp) it is a great starter or part of a warm-weather meal. Simple but very tasty.
