Ratatouille Review

Thanks to all for the nice comments on my first blog – you inspire me!

As for the prime rib roast, Todd, I think your fireside judgement will do…but for the record, according to the “Barbeque Bible” by Steven Raichlen, roast a prime rib roast over indirect heat for 12-14 minutes per pound for a medium-rare roast, which would be about 4 to 4 ½ hours for 20 pounds. Use a food thermometer to accurately determine doneness. Cook to 145 degrees F. for medium-rare and 160 degrees F. for medium.

Now, let’s shift to ratatouille – the food and the movie. I love ratatouille, which is tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini, onion, garlic, and herbs sautéed in olive oil, and I will include it in my summer menu, especially after this fanciful movie reminder. A link to ratatouille recipes is currently featured on the Nubella.com home page, or you can click here.

After much anticipation, I saw the movie this weekend and enjoyed most of it. For a foodie, it was fun viewing. Especially meaningful to me were two of the main messages. First, anyone can cook. Second, food leaves powerful impressions on our lives and even softened the bitter food critic Anton Ego when he tasted the familiar delicious flavor of the ratatouille. Powerful!

Yes, I heartily agree that anyone can cook and everyone should do so as much as possible because we cherish our good food memories. We can cook, so let's also create more great food memories that will last a lifetime!

In my opinion, the animation in this movie was super and the movie increased appreciation for food and chefs. What do you think?

Loved the movie, love the dish! Thanks for the recipe link. It's a little different than the way I make it, which is great. Nothing wrong with switching it up!

Rats are Creepy
There is something about going into the world of a rat colony that even Disney-Pixar can't make cute. Getting warm & fuzzy about rats and chefs at the same time overwhelmed me. I have a hard enough time with just the chefs! I agree the animation was fabulous and amazing that they could make CAD food look so appetizing, but it was still creepy to be up close and personal with the rats.

I'm seeing the movie with my hubby tonight! And maybe I'll even cook up this dish next week. It's been awhile. Yum! :grin
