Disney-Pixar’s new animated feature, Ratatouille, which features a rat named Remy as the star and eminence un-gris of a lad named Linguini, who goes on to great culinary heights from being a downtrodden kitchen hand, contains a few surprises of its own.
Turns out that famed [tag]French Laundry chef Thomas Keller[/tag], who is celebrated by the French in the form of its Guide Michelin, not only has a speaking part in the film but taught the animators and crew how to prepare food in the kitchen so they could achieve verisimilitude. He also devised the final recipe for a ratatouille named Confit Byaldi that Remy and Linguini cook to win the praise of Paris’s toughest food critic.
I’ve seen the trailer, and now I plan to see the movie when it opens in a week.
Dare I try the recipe for Keller’s Confit Byaldi that I found? (But how do you cut Roma tomatoes into 1/16-inch rounds, as required?)
