Hello! It’s been a while. I wasn’t even sure I’d remember how to do this. Or if I’d bother as no one seems to read blogs anymore. Personally, I like a website that I can search rather than having to scroll through hundreds of videos to find the one I want.
Ratatouille, now there’s a blast from the past! My mother used to make this regularly in the 80s when it was fashionable and I thought it was so fancy. She used a recipe from a huge Marguerite Patten cookbook that she got as a wedding present.
