Abstract

Food Preparation
Young cooks these days are more likely to have been introduced to ratatouille from the Pixar movie than from the cuisine of southern France. But even without deep familiarity with its culinary roots, the dish can be a powerful hook to engage culinarians and guests alike, transforming humble vegetables into something rich, silky and sublime when properly executed. In addition to being a classic of French cuisine, it is also a culinary school staple for teaching and refining knife skills, with hundreds of perfect and imperfect dice cooked down into the finished dish.
