But! I got here via your awesome recipe search thingie when I needed something inspirational to do with zucchini. I really, really don't even *like* zucchini, but I have some, trying to eat a little healthier. (Making your baked ratatouille would have been healthier, but I'm getting there!) Anyway. I made this tart! I tweaked it a bit: I had no peppers or eggplant, but I did have tomatoes (yummy heirlooms), so I skipped the sauce and layered the yellow and green zuchs with the tomato. I had fresh basil, so I used that - under the squash instead of on top - and I sprinkled a little garlic jack under there too. I forgot to dock the pastry, and I added the feta before baking instead of after. It was SO pretty and SO delicious! I have taken one more step away from my fear of squash! Thank you for a truly inspirational site. It's wonderful. Blessings to you in your impending motherhood!

I wanted to update you on my Chicagoland Dufour hunt, which was not such an epic undertaking after all. It's been in the Whole Foods freezer case, right under my nose, all along. I'm using it in a tart tomorrow and can't wait to give it a shot. Thanks for the help. Hi Deb. I wanted to update you on my Chicagoland Dufour hunt, which was not such an epic undertaking after all.

I was going to say the same thing! I just watched Ratatouille last weekend (I wasn't thrilled with it . . . but I was sick) and was thinking that this looks like what's-his-name-the-rat's version (in a good way, Deb, in a good way).

Looks like someone saw a certain animated movie a few too many times...I have ratatouille on the mind as well, I went to a Q&A with Brad Bird a little while ago and he spoke about his collaboration with Thomas Keller on the dish for the film. I have wanted to try a version ever since, and as I need a dish to bring to a holiday luncheon - I am thinking that this might just be the perfect thing. Plus, now I get to buy a kitchen toy/mandoline! Thanks, and happy holidays! How pretty!

Your photos are gorgeous and your ideas are just so inspiring. Your ratatouille tart reminds me of a similar (minus the puff pastry) creation I make. I layer thinly sliced potatoes, zucchini, and tomatoes like yours, top with fresh parsley and sea salt, drizzle with good olive oil, bake, and then top with fresh basil. Heaven! Crusty bread and I am happy. I am trying your tart this week. I know I will love it. I have recently found your website and I must say I am thrilled!
