   Bless that dear Julia’s soul; this may be the best thing I’ve ever produced in my kitchen. I had just-picked eggplant, zucchini, onions, tomatoes and parsley from my CSA and beautiful green peppers from my own garden. I may eat the entire casserole myself.

   Ratatouille is one of my favourite dishes. I am so pleased that Julia included this recipe in her cookbook.
   This weekend I made her Boeuf Bourgigon.. I am now hooked on French cuisine.
   I noticed, however, that perhaps you could add the section on page 505 for juicing, etc., the tomatoes.
   Thank you, and Julia, for making a cook out of someone who barely knows where the kitchen is. (My husband does most of the cooking). He was very pleased with my Boeuf Bourgigon.

   Thank you so much. I made this years ago. Everyone raved about it. Foolishly I gave away my Julia Child Mastering the Art of French Cooking. I am so glad I found this. What a blessing!

   The simpler the better. I make mine salt-free. I even make a variation, using canned tomatoes, in the microwave at work! This is something EVERYBODY should have in the culinary repertoire, with or without an ocean view …

   In the previous century (!), when I was fortunate to live in the lost Eden known as Malibu, there was a little cafeteria-patisserie in Santa Monica named Cafe Casino. It’s been gone for years and years now. Sorry. Sometimes we would extract ourselves from the rush hour crawl westbound and take dining refuge there. We’d take our trays out on the patio overlooking the Pacific, and watch the lowering sunlight sprinkle its silvery self across the water like a carpet of dimes, while we waited out the bumper-to-bumper on PCH. The ONLY thing I remember from the menu at Cafe Casino — the ONLY thing I ever selected for dinner — was the ratatouille.

   I LOVE this recipe. A favorite memory from my teens was watching Julia make this on her TV show with my father. We still break up laughing when one of us says “Raaaatatouillle!!!” It tastes great too.

   Tried it for the first time a couple of weeks ago using my crock pot (no offense intended, Julia!) and it came out beautifully. Amazing flavors. When I took leftovers to work, people wanted to know what the incredible aroma was from. Can’t wait for eggplant to go on sale again!!

   What a wonderful recipe. Thanks for posting. As a father of 6 who does most the cooking on the weekends… my kids love this recipe.
