Ratatouille

Sara and I are always looking for new and exciting recipes to try. While walking through Disneyland a few weeks ago, we came across a window display form the recent Disney cartoon "Ratatouille." Intrigued by the cool name and complete ignorance of what the dish even was, we set out to discover what all the fuss was about. We discovered that ratatouille is a "French peasant dish", which in my vernacular means their version of soul-food. Meant to be cheap enough that anyone can make it and hearty enough to please any family, the vegetarian stew has been apart of French tradition for hundreds of years. We discovered that Disney had actually hired a chef to create a new way to serve ratatouille to feature in their cartoon. Decidedly, we knew we had to try it. We did all the Google searching and you tube research necessary and then a few nights ago Sara made the most beautiful ratatouille. I've posted a picture (left) to showcase her handy-work. It tastes as good as it looks. Bon Appetit!
