Guess which movie I saw a couple of nights ago?

Can you believe we - French people - had to wait until last Wednesday to be able to see this delicious movie?
And yep, I totally couldn’t resist to make this gorgeous and luscious ratatouille au four [oven ratatouille].
Sunday night I went to the theater with my little sister, and the next morning, by 8am* I was ready - wearing sunglasses to hide my obvious dark circles (I got so excited by the movie that my mind was just thinking about ratatouille and how lovely the meaning of the film is) and carrying my favourite sac en osier - to go to the market.
I arrived to the market around 8.30* and got as many légumes d’été [summer vegetables] as humanly possible. Carrying my then 100kg bag with somewhat difficulty, I put everything on the passenger’s sit and drove home like crazy; endless ideas popping in my mind.
The rest is another story, and I promise you’ll soon hear it (along with the most delicious ratatouille recipe ever).
You’ll have to wait for a week, though, as I am leaving for a one-week holiday! See you next week…
* times have been changed for evident reasons - did you honestly think that I woke up can wake up at 7?

Oh, you beat me to it, Fanny! Am I the only one who cried when the mean critic ate the ratatouille? (Yes, I am embarrassed to admit that.) Didn’t it look amazing on the plate? I’m sure yours will bring tears to my eyes again.

Aww… I saw the ratatouille over at smittened kitchen too and now it just makes me want to watch the movie even more! If you think it’s bad enough for the French, Ratatouille has yet to hit the screens in Singapore!

I did the same thing! The morning after I wanted ratatouille for breakfast. I went the lazy route though and threw it all in a pot. I must say, your ratatouille is oh so elegant. Did you serve it in little stacks like in the film? How would you compare to the traditional version?

This movie was so charming! I’m glad to hear other adults also enjoyed it :) I cried too at the part with the critic! Your version looks just as beautiful.

Your ratatouille looks gorgeous! I wonder if they planned to have to movie come out when all the ingredients are in season? It’s the perfect summer fresh-from-the-farmers’-market dish!

The trailer for Ratatouille I saw before The Simpsons Movie, was about 50% explaination of how to pronounce it phonetically dumbing it down for people who couldn’t care less and aren’t going to see it anyway.
I’m hot and bothered now. I saw a great recipe for Rataouille Omelettes the other week, which was nice.

Sophie said something sweet:je suis allée voir ‘ratatouille’ hier soir and i dreamt about it all night!

take care and have a lovely holiday.

Oh goddess. I was on the verge of changing my oven-antipasti-vegetables plans for tomorrow’s lunch straight to ratatouille, only to discovered you didn’t enter the recipe. I shall have to live with the disappointment or start looking for a good recipe in my own books.
I have to say, though, you make excellent use of your new camera!

Tes photos sont absolument sublimes!

We loved this movie, too! What a delight.

I love the look of your ratatouille. I am always smiling when I hear someone raving about the movie…ratatouille is a staple at my house. Once a week I make a big batch and serve it hot with meat/fish or room temp on tartine. Can’t get tired of it!
