Strands Grid Breakdown
My approach: I started by hunting down the spangram (naturally, by searching for the word "EGGPLANT"), which helped me find the other words. After discovering DISH, the grid divided itself into two segments. With a quick search, I found RATATOUILLE. Then, PARMIGIANA and STUFFED followed suit. MOUSSAKA was a bit tricky, but I eventually figured it out!
