The presentation alone is awesome. Then I bit into the vegetables and was very pleased. The texture was PERFECT! Each individual flavor added something;yet it all went well together. My 3 small children ...well, the baby liked it. My hubby is away, when he comes home I think I will have him grill chicken and have this as the side. Yummy, beautiful recipe! Easy to prepare! I would recommend it.

I dont like eggplant, I dont like zucchini, but oh boy do I like this Ratatouille. The awesome thing is it tastes just as excellent with any other vegetables you throw in. I added italian squash and cucumber as it was cheaper one week, and voila just as scrumptuous. This is a total keeper and an excellent meal for those of us who need to get more veggies in our diet!

Hi, I'm 31 and cooking and living in England. I was born in Germany and that's where I grew up and lived until I came to the UK to go to University in 1998.
I never went back to live in Germany, even though all my family is still there.
