How to Make a Classic Ratatouille Recipe
One of my first experiences while working as a line cook at the age of 15 at one of my favorite restaurants in St. Louis was making risotto and ratatouille. They were the staple side items that we often served up to accompany main entrees on the menu. I remember everything from prepping the zucchini, squash and eggplant to the sautéing of the vegetables and then finishing it off with herbs and cheese and sending it out the door to dining room guests. I’ll forever cherish those foundational moments of my culinary journey, which is why I do so many recipes like this How to Make a Classic Ratatouille Recipe.
