What are capers?
Most of us have heard of capers but many of us have never used them in a recipes. Roughly speaking, capers add a lemon peppery taste to your dish and are used in many Mediterranean recipes. I always love when TV chefs talk about capers like it is something we have just laying around in our kitchens. Don't be embarrassed if you have never used capers.
