I think Ratatouille is a classic dish originating from the Provence region of France. Though its exact meaning is debated, it's commonly understood as a "stirred-up" or "tossed" dish. It's a delicious way to enjoy seasonal vegetables and can be served as a side or main course

Hey there! Ratatouille is a classic French dish that's all about celebrating veggies! It's like a delicious stew made with tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, onions, and bell peppers, all cooked together until they're tender and flavorful. Sometimes herbs like thyme and basil are added for extra yumminess!
