HOMAGE TO A GREAT CHEF
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Craig Claiborne's RATATOUILLE was very simple to prepare & was delicious I only used 1 heaped Tablespoon to stir into the... eggplant, zucchini & capsicum The NEXT DAY the DISH tasted EXCELLENT after the flavours had a chance to "meld" I WOULD reccommend this Ratatouille to any cook looking for a great easy recipe that tastes FABULOUS Craig Claiborne's CHINESE COOKBOOK was my first ever cookbook I bought when I lived in USA in the 1970s when I was in my twenties WHAT A GREAT CHEF he was. I did not know of his passing but I suppose I was only 23 when I first heard of him & he was much older than me & now I am in my late 50's AT least his GREAT RECIPES WILL LIVE ON THROUGH HIS BOOKS Read more
