Le Vieux-Nice, France I (sold)

Two years ago a friend of mine and I, both Francophiles, took our kids to see the movie Ratatouille.  The story was about a rat who had a big dream of becoming a chef in a restaurant and found an unusual way to make it come true.  The key dish that brought him a success was ratatouille.

After the movie, we went to my friend's house to enjoy ratatouille she had made, following an authentic Julia Child recipe.  What a way to end the day!  Any ratatouille recipe calls for many different vegetables; tomato, eggplant, zucchini, bell pepper, onion...  This time-consuming dish was originated in Nice, a coastal city in the south of France.

Old Town of Nice somehow reminds me of this dish.  I don't know exactly why.  Maybe it's because of all the bright colors seen in the architecture. Or, because a melange of cafes, restaurants, churches, squares is tucked in one section of the city.  Whatever the reason, both are very flavorful and my favorite!
