Ratatouille and Gardening Story — Histoire de ratatouille et de jardinage
Revisited Ratatouille Tatin Tart
When I had told you that the tart frenzy was going to start with the sunny warm days. This time of year must be one of my favorites because I make and roll dough all the time, playing and creating all sorts of new fun toppings while revisiting old ones too.
Ah que j’aime les tartes !
And, when life is crazy like it is these days — but crazy good — I wish I were able to dig things like this right from the garden. Wouldn’t you? Have a fun weekend all! I hope to be back to writing more very soon.

I actually saw a spring tart recipe in the LATimes last week and thought of you and your tarts! I can’t wait for ratatouille season, though for us it’s usually in August. I’m just beginning to dig my spring radishes and lettuces and just planting my tomatoes.

That’s one lucky trowel. Mine is covered with cow manure.

Yum! I love the presentation. Where can I buy seeds that grow dishes like this?

Ahh, if only it was possible to plant a ratatouille tart and have it grow into a tree
Great photos, and that looks like an awesome lunch dish!

I love the garden tools. That is thinking out of the box (kitchhen)! Oh and wouldn’t Ellie’s idea be fun … but then where’s the creativity.

J’adore la ratatouille, et sous toutes ses formes …

I made a ratatuoille tarte tatin once. I know, I know, probably a travesty if you are commited to the real things, but oh, was it good! Caramelized vegetables and flakey pastry, all the flavor of summer in each mouthful!

Thank you very much all! Merci beaucoup!
Comment by Béa — On April, 30th, 2007 at 8:21 am
well congrats Bea - you now have me completely hooked on tarts. and a secondary congrats is necessary, as it seems you have been my absolute go-to for dinner parties. i’m having the girls over to finish the last bit of wine left from my trip abroad, and of course i’m here first to plan the menu! i think a tart is in order, of course… and then one of your chocolate delectables… any recommendations?
Comment by Linda — On May, 2nd, 2007 at 3:45 pm
Oh thanks so much Linda! I am pleased! For chocolate, I would go with the Molten cakes, really really nice, and if you do not have time for white chocolate Match tea filling, do hazelnut chocolate, or white or dark even. Place one square in the middle when filling the molds. As to the tarts, so many you could choose from. What about this one:
