Milk Street Digital Class: Ratatouille Pie with Denise Marchessault

Ratatouille may be the most quintessential of all French summer dishes. Combining eggplant, tomato, bell peppers and zucchini, it hits all the high notes of seasonal cooking. Typically it’s served as a stew, but it can be something much more elegant. Join guest chef Denise Marchessault for a pre-recorded cooking class where you’ll learn to make an entertaining-worthy ratatouille pie. To make this vegetarian showstopper, you need to start with great knife work, which Denise guides you through with ease. Then, you’ll learn to turn those perfectly prepared vegetables into a flavorful, updated ratatouille base, embellished with olives, artichoke and fresh herbs. You could serve this ratatouille as-is, of course—but we go the extra mile and encase it in a flaky pastry crust that Denise will show you how to make and shape. Sliceable, picture-perfect and easy to tweak as the seasons change, this take on classic ratatouille will quickly become your preferred way to bring French inspiration to your table.
