Ratatouille has always a sweet taste of nostalgia for me...

In my cottage kitchen

Ratatouille is a simple but delicious and very healthy dish.
I learnt its real recipe many years ago, from a dear friend who was an American writer, but knew well Southern France cooking.
Actually Scottie and I had spent some unforgettable days in French Riviera, but this is another story....


Since I grow all the necessary vegetables in my own kitchen garden, I have often cooked this tasty recipe for my nephew Frimpong, to make him eat vegetables which are so very good for keeping his fur thick and shiny.
Frimpong adores my ratatouille so I wish he could be here to eat it in my company today.
Unluckily my nephew is somewhere else in the big world and Scotty, my dear American friend, died a long time ago....
I’ll have to savor my ratatouille on my own thinking of my dear ones...


By the way, I don’t know if I've already told you I’m one of the greatest cooks of the world; after all, I've worked as a refined cook for the most important noble families of Europe, so if you feel like knowing the details of my recipes, you can write to my email address and it will be my pleasure sharing my culinary secrets with you.
Now I must leave you because I have to clean these tomatoes. Then it will be the aubergines turn....

What a charming kitchen you have, Aunt Violet! You look a bit concerned, with your hand to your head. I hope you didn't get overheated in the garden. I imagine taking care of it is quite a bit of work. I am looking forward to learning about your special recipes!

Wonderful picture, Auntie Violet, and I can smell the ratatouille just looking at these tomatoes.
