'Eggs luxuriating nearby' makes no sense either. Another case of her not knowing the meaning of a big word or how to use it, but using it anyway to try and sound clever.
‘Eggs luxuriating nearby’ - possibly a thread title?

Two things (also hi everyone)

1. People write their whole life stories and then the actual recipe as they get more ad revenue. I follow a recipe writer and she was really open about it and I admire her for it. She actually makes amazing food so I don’t begrudge her earning as revenue from her website as she gives recipes out for free.

2. Don’t you just lemon juice in a dish when you have over chillied? I feel like that’s one of the most basic things you learn.

Having turned her back on her Scottish/Irish/Greek/Jewish/Ouchy roots, she is now hitting it with 'Fam' :rolleyes:

Normally the life story above recipe thing is to include keywords (I write SEO texts) which is why you often see text like:

If you've ever wondered how to make anchoïade, you're not alone. I was looking for a healthy anchoïade recipe and I came up with this. This easy anchoïade recipe uses just 5 ingredients...

In a way, I wouldn't mind Jack doing that...but she's as tit as SEO as she is at cooking/marketing/face tuning/searing political commentary etc etc.

These are the ingredients listed for caponata on BBC food. Anyone who has ever had caponata knows this is what goes into it:

For the caponata
It's a height-of-summer dish - when you have super ripe tomatoes and aubergines.

Alternatively, use the ingredients above but add a ton of chilli flakes, coconut milk, over-processed bread, brown sugar and balsamic vinegar.
