This is so pretty. And that hit of salt from the olives sounds perfect. I am in the Southern Hemisphere so am now at the window waiting for Summer. x

In reply to Sue. Hi Sue, yes a mandoline will make paper-thin slices and is essential to making this dish. I just layered slowly (I enjoy the repetitive process), so it just takes some time. Another thing you can try is holding your hand, palm up and flat, layer on your hand, then add in small "swatches" to the pan. I hope that this helps and you enjoy it!

I made this but don’t have a mandolin slicer, is t, and I couldn’t quite layer them and spiral them as yiu did – with a you did, does the mandolins slicer make them paper thin? And then how exactly do you layer them do they spiral together? My daughters found your recipe, loved the Ratatouille movie. And we’re excited to try it, I can buy a mandolin slicer fir me tyine, but do you have any tips for layering them in a spiral? I fear it exceeds my cooking ability! The sauce smells delicious and I Csn tell itsgoung to be yummy – just wish I can match your picture! It’. Thanks for any tips!

In reply to Miista Thompson. Miista, glad you like! The vegetables will sweat a bit, so the parchment wont stick -- it's quite sturdy. Before refrigerating this, you'll need to transfer it out of the cast iron pan and into another container with a lid. I wouldn't recommend eating it cold and yes, this can be tripled easily to feed more folks -- you may need to slightly increase the bake time a bit if there is more volume there.

I hope you like the dish!

Thank you for your instructions. I screamed in pure excitement when you said, "Serve it with some bread and red wine for a simple and pretty September dinner," because it just sounds like a perfect night. The only thing that can turn a shit day into a good one is dinner and I can imagine how much this will put me in a good mood! The colour and design looks amazing and I can't wait to taste it. I've always wanted to make it ever since I watched the animation, but I wasn't much of a veggie fan back then and I probably wouldn't have been clever enough to understand the instructions haha. I'm so keen to do this, but I'm scared I might do it wrong and screw the whole dish. Won't bits of parchment paper get stuck in the dish when you put it on top? And when you put it in the fridge, what do you cover it with? Tin foil, glad wrap or doesn't matter? And after you've put it in the fridge over night to eat the next day, would you need to reheat it or can you eat it cold? Also, if I wanted to feed about 10 people, would I just triple the amount of everything?

Sorry for the 21 questions. It's just that I'm exactly like the food critic in the movie; if I don't like it, I won't swallow. And my tastebuds are weird. I don't eat a lot of food, because most food I come across doesn't taste good. I just don't want to waste my time and money on something that might turn out wrong or bad, because of me, and end up wasting it or not being satisfied from the dish. If only I could have a sample of a taste somewhere. I might do that actually... find somewhere to eat some.

Thank you!
