Iron Chef Wk 4 Installment 5

Ratatouille! The steam is wafting the most wonderful fragrance throughout the kitchen. Can't wait!

In real life, the colors were brilliant. This picture was taken by a cameraphone. Sadly, so far the technology is substandard indoors at night. Please know this dish was marvelous both in flavor and in bold, beautiful reds, yellows, and greens of the fresh peppers, zucchinis, eggplants, tomatoes, and other produce.

Check out my Flickr site (click on the badge on the right side of the blog) to see pictures taken with my regular camera to be reassured that Americans truly do eat food that doesn't all come out of cans and fast-food cardboard. There's a set called "Iron Chef 2008" that tells the whole story of this year's series of competition.
