Changes Spegel made to the linked recipe's ingredients:

Pounds of lamb become kilograms (more than doubling the quantity of meat), a medium onion turns large, one celery stalk becomes two, six cloves of garlic turn into four, tomato paste vanishes, we lose nearly half a cup of wine, beef stock gets an extra ¾ cup, rosemary is replaced with oregano.

Fantastic catch! It led me down a rabbit hole, and I finally found the root cause.

The recipe site was so long that it got truncated before being sent to the LLM. Then, based on the first 8000 characters, Gemini hallucinated the rest of the recipe, it was definitely in its training set.

I have fixed it and pushed a new version of the project. Thanks again, it really highlights how we can never fully trust models.
