Spice level warning — Ratatouille is not what I expected
I underestimated Ratatouille. The deeply layered description didn't prepare me for the reality. Dijon mustard brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.

Ratatouille for a dinner party — went down extremely well
I made Ratatouille for eight guests who had varying familiarity with the cuisine. Every single person asked for the recipe. The buttery and aromatic profile was the main talking point — no one had quite experienced cream used that way before.

Street food Ratatouille — the authentic version
The best Ratatouille I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The rich and refined intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. Dijon mustard was used without hesitation, the way it should be.
