Making Ratatouille To Fulfill a Childhood Dream 

A little precision, more than just thyme, you must use "herbes de provences" which often contain a blend savory, marjoram, rosemary, thyme, and oregano. You can add black olives too (without the pit). Something to know is that ratatouille gets even better reheated the day after, or the portion you have frozen in summer and be eaten in winter.

As someone who loves ratatouille, I can confirm that it’s delicious

Man, watching these videos during Ramadan is one of the most painful things to do 😂

Being french and from the south of France where Ratatouille is the local dish, it is just delicious and I'm so glad you like it ! It's the perfect healthy, tasty, easy meal and a lot of us have grown up eating it. Great job !!!(definitely don't hesitate to put more herbs in next time, it usually comes with more than just thyme but that depends on your taste !)

I love ratatouille, but the regular version. I had a job as a French cook (then later chef) when I was 18 and it was one of the first things I learned to cook. these days I like to grill the vegetables and eat it with fusilli pasta, good olives (usually Kalamatas or oil-cured black olives) and capers.

everytime i sit down for breakfast, this man's content is all i need for a cosy vibe to enjoy my food with

french guy making ratatouille regularly here. So I usually put white wine in it and almost no tomato. And the traditional way is to put a bouquet garni inside (usually thyme, rosemary and bay leaf) and let it simmer for at least an hour, for the juices to come out

Loved the imaginative way you filmed this video, especially the flashback. Also the dishes both look amazing, well done! Makes me want to make ratatouille now

I loved how your nostalgic flashback to your first time eating ratatouille was 30 minutes before😭😭

"That's some good smelling fingers" is one of my new favorite quotes

Best cooking video ever. Brilliant concept! Love Ratatouille... the movie and the dish.

The thing about the scene with Ego, is that its not about the dish Itself tasting so good it took him to have a hella trip. Its about how Remy could encapsulate the taste of Ego’s childhood that made the ratatouille so special for him. That’s why we dont see chef Skinner have a flashback either, the dish is good, yeah! But not that special for him as it is for Ego. What tastes delicious for me may be whatever for the next person, but its how our mothers and grandmas made the food we loved that puts that dish in a special place 💖

Lovely to see how far your skills have progressed and the video presentation. I`m glad you reached 3 M subs, you definitely deserve it! I appreciate your content, you taught me some highly useful recipes and cooking skills!

Thanks for everything you do. You are the person who has made me view cooking as a pleasant activity instead of a chore. Love all of your videos and your personality 🥰😄

I made this dish for mothers day back in 2021. Had a hard time trying to find a ring mold though as it wasn't available at Wal-Mart so my dad and I eventually went to this small Asian furniture store and got one from there. It wasn't tall though but it will do.

Nostalgic feeling for something we've never experienced before: Portuguese has the perfect term -saudade! In French it's deja vu. There you go, thanks for the clip, I liked the original ratatouille best!

That pixar ratatouille style brings back memory of the couple hours ago. That's what we called nostalgic moment in this video😂 this man is so funny,

Your videos have always worked their magic.

Try the layered kind with bread crumbs or thin slices of hard bread in between as well. It sopps up the juices and kind of solidifies it and gives it a bit of umph or something

Your cookbook arrived today. I'm looking forward to making your recipes! 😊

I have watched this movie many times. I guess now I gotta try the recipe. Loved the video. 💕

What I like about it is that it is unashamedly vegan - it is not fake meat and 🧀 spelt with a 'z' because it's not real cheese. It is just good quality vegetables, done well.

Lovely video and a nice nod to the traditional version. I make this a lot using a recipe from Yankee magazine, which focuses on US New England states' culture. There is a French influence in parts of New England, and people love growing vegetable gardens so ratatouille is a nice local tradition. The Yankee recipe I have has many similarities with your French colleague's recipe, which made me happy to see. And combining with French bread is perfect!

I watch this movie yesterday and thinking about Ratatouille dish and sir you make the dish thankyou 🤝

I made this but I used bell pepper instead of tomatoes for the layers, and the sauce underneath was just homemade tomato sauce simmered for a few hours. Then at the end, YOU DAB SOME GOAT CHEESE ON TOP on the plate - one of the best things I've ever made, have taken it to many family dinners since and it always gets eaten up. :)

Your book is coming in the mail today and I'm SO excited!!!!

Ratatouille is so delightful! I usually cook it with some kalamata olives and capers if I have them, and serve with a smidge of sour cream - mine also tends to be a bit more like a soup than a stew. I don't know how traditional those additions are, but they're very tasty! I also always make sure that I salt and drain my eggplant before cooking it because it's such a wet vegetable - I wonder if that's part of the reason your fancily plated one was saucier than expected

I like your sense of humor :)

You are awesome dude.. wonderful work. Both of them..

That scene resonates with me deeply.

Hey could you make a video with your favorite recipes, but dairy free? I am lactose intolerant. 😢 I love your videos and I know you would knock any dish out of the park with flavor. God bless!

Dudddeeee i bought garlic some time ago. And it did not have peels. I was so surprised, i thought it was a coincidence but it was actually bred to not have peels. Its called „solo garlic“ and you can buy it in the Jumbo in the netherlands. The thing is it is not only without skin the cloves are also not seperated so you basically have one big ball of garlic. I also wished for this to exist before, but when i accidentally bought it i got so creeped out, that i didnt use it anymore since.

Nice one! I like your vidéos, I like travelling with food and with kids, I don't always avec time to cook perfect stuff so I like your ideas to "shake it up" (I don't know if this makes sense 😉. I would'nd recommand the lemon juice à the end end. For the traditional one after cooking it with the lid on, i usually let it cook some more without the lid so the juice evaporate ans the vetgetables confit. It add à sweetness and you Can use the Leftovers on bruschetta or tartine. You offen serve it with rice or pasta. I sometimes skip the eggplant!

its funny how kwoowk says hes not a chef but he makes better food than any other cooking channel on the internet

I make it traditional most of the time. Its fantastic.

Heyy classic french raratouille is soooo so similar to polish dish called Leczo! I think you'd love it! It's really so delicious it always transform me to my childhood since my grandma made it in summertime when I visited her 🥺🥺🥺

“Why are we taking the peel off the tomato? What’s wrong with tomato peel?” *Laughs in IBS*

Cookbook is needed 😮😮😮😮

It’s not about this dish (ratatouille) but your own childhood dish that will make you flashback to that time whatever that dish may be

when you say "with the bread it really works" it make me think about french rustic soupe. Its soupe but with the big chunk of vegetables and hot water, not mixed. And this with a good whole wheat bread or country bread (only satisfying noun for "pain de campagne" in french) will make you happy to be alive.

Its very basic and simple, not alot of ingredients but I'm not gonna lie it looks delicious!!!

This was super cool 😎

Blender pusher downer lol the most accurate description 😂

I actually made this and I didn’t enjoy it but my friends and family did my the reason I didn’t like it was because I felt like it was under seasoned due to the watery nature of vegetables but all my friends and family said I did fantastic Personally not going to devote 4 hours for a meal I wouldn’t enjoy but if asked by my mother I would gladly take the time

Could u rate street burritos bc I think u haven’t done any burrito ones I’ve seen

Bro it would be so sick if you made some Cajun dishes!!

i love vegetables so i cant wait to make this with summer vegetable garden veggies

Looks delicious 😋

You love beans, you should do a pasta con fagioli dish (traditional Italian peasant food) garlic (original recipe says 20 cloves), bacon/pork cheek, borlotti beans 2 cans then add ~2L chicken stock and cook for like 6h slowly, then throw pasta into that same pot and cook for 30 mins. Comes out a delicious warm creamy beany broth with pasta

Hello you are the best chef ever i seen. And please next make some Bangladesh food.😊

“Smell my fingers”👃 (50 First Dates vibes) ☺️🤓

6:57 thought he show footage having fav childhood dish as a kid lol

Reminds me of Marcel Proust and madeleine 🥰❤️

I have always wondered how ratatouille tastes. Maybe one day I will try it. Yours does look yummy though.

In the Netherlands is it just called an 'oven' ?

Delectable at its finest

The flashback to the same day 😂

Please try the Italian dish Parmigiana!! It tastes soooo AMAZING!!!!😍😍 I am sure Parmigiana can beat ratatouille

As a French, ratatouille is one of my favorite thing to eat 😋

Can you please try Belgium Fries

I really thought at first that the dish on the movie was the traditional ratatouille until I found out that it was a version of a celebrity chef.

ay im Dominican I recommend you to try yaroa its pretty good

Haha the cut at 7:00 made me chuckle

KWOOK i recommend you doing rice with milk, the natonial dish (wich is "la bandeja paisa") and rice with coconut, fish and fried platan slices, from Colombia (arroz con leche , la bandeja paisa, and the rest is already clear) btw coconut rice , you can make it with lined coconut and to the fish you can put it with Lemon the green one , and the platan has to be hard and green and you can put salt ot the platan

When you think, Anton Ego was taken back to memories of the traditional too.

Can you try Tunisia food (kouskous) 😋

In Syria We have the smae dich , same vegetables , seasoning thing , but we add small chuks of chicken or meat , finally we serve it with nicely cooked rice

"Smell my fingers" LmAo!

“There’s nothing that can’t be solved with a blender pusher-downer” even divorce 💀

Nostalgia for a time you've never known is called "anemoia." A project called 'The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows' named this, and a few other shared emotional experiences.

Could you give us a receipe? I want to cook it, both versions.

you should make Sailor's beef

Ratatouille main message is that the best dish is not the best dish, but YOUR best dish. Ask 10 thousand chef and they all love their childhood dish, Simple as that.

Can you do a dish from Sweden and its called chili con carne

pepperoni and cucumber with tomato sauce yummy

I always knew Ratatouille was made of vegetables, but why did it look like pepperoni when Anton Ego took a bite 😭 I don’t really like vegetables, but this would seem real fun to eat with a Remi topper on it 😂

Try the Vietnamese pho 🍜

so i'm allergic to tomatos... and the only way i can eat them, is by peeling them. I feel you...

Can You make a Italian traditional food

Please make and eat Bariis Iskukaris Somali National Dish 10/10

6:52 not me thinking you're about to flash back to your childhood just for you to use a clip from literally 2 minutes ago but put under a black and white filter 💀

It is like "mix sabzi" dish in Pakistan. Didn't know it is too famous because of ratatouille. I never early it when it is made in our home.

Well cooked

The end 😂

Keep olive oil out of him, he's turning into Gordon Ramsey
