Ratatouille Ideas

Hello! Today, the temperature is 5C (10F) lower and colder than yesterday, due to cold winds blowing down from the north! I didn't want to get up this morning, you know...

Anyway, last time, I posted my Ratatouille recipe. My recipe serves only 2, but some recipes serve a great amount that you might not be able to finish up at once. Here I will show you that it can be used in many different ways.

Ratatouille Cheese Bowl: Sprinkle cheese over the ratatouille rice bowl.









Ratatouille Hand Roll: Wrap ratatouille with nori and sushi rice.









Fish Saute, Ratatouille Sauce: Pour ratatouille over the saute of fish.






Butterfly Fruit Nut Rye Bread with Ratatouille: Stand 2 slices of fruit nut rye bread on cream cheese, garnish ratatouille.







I hope you find them helpful ;)

Beaujolais Nouveau

Do you drink Beaujolais Nouveau on the release day?

Drinking Beaujolais Nouveau has become a popular event in Japan. Every third Thursday of November, various events are held around the country! Interestingly, Beaujolais Nouveau goes on sale in Japan earlier than in Europe, because there is a time difference.

Anyway, I once went to the Neo Village of Tokyo International Forum. Neo Village is a group of food stalls and they open stalls at Tokyo International Forum every year on the Beaujolais day. We can enjoy dishes from many countries with Beaujolais Nouveau! The year I went there was so cold that I haven't been there since then. Ha-ha!

Well... Enjoy yourselves!!!
Happy Beaujolais day ;)

Have you seen “Ratatouille"? It is a movie released in June, 2007. Last summer, there was a contest related to this movie and my "Ratatouille Pizza" won the Second Prize! I will translate the recipe since it is fun for your party ;)
