The Meal: Traditional ratatouille (of course), a dish so wonderfully prepared it sends legendarily cranky critic Anton Ego (Peter O'Toole) flashing back to his childhood growing up on the stuff.
The Chef: The credit goes to Linguini (Lou Romano), the somewhat lackadaisical young wannabe chef, but the one pulling the strings (or rather, the hair under his hat to guide his hands) is Remy (Patton Oswalt), a rat with real cooking skill.
How To Recreate It: Unless you live in Paris, where the movie's set, we wouldn't recommend flying all the way there just to get the full gallic, er, flavor.
But the dish is easy to recreate - you'll need:
1 eggplant
1/2 onion, diced
Diced tomatoes
Minced garlic
Fresh basil
Salt, pepper, extra virgin olive oil.
Full instructions can be found here.
We recommend leaving out the rat part, though. Most rodents know sod all about cookery.
