We are a few days away from the solstice, September 22nd. We’ve still got some summer in the air in New York, and at the farmer’s market. September is the best month of the growing season, a great intersection of the summer favorites and the beginning of fall, moving on from the heat and onto some great sleeping weather before the darkness of winter.
This made me crave ratatouille— and as someone who currently has a problematic relationship with vegetables that’s saying a lot. Also thanks for making this the peasant way I do and not the fussy French way where you feather everything together in a baking dish. Miss you! ❤️
"The Give." Woah. I feel a version of this sometimes when I sit down to eat food that someone else has made for me -- at a friend's house, or at a particularly familiar or cozy restaurant. It's the relaxation / letting-go that comes with trusting that someone is going to take good care of you. Thank you for giving a name to this feeling, and for this gorgeous recipe.
Oh my god. This is magnificent. Cooking class! I still think about our session here in Urbana all the time, equal parts cooking and talk therapy and smoking/drinking in the driveway. Miss you.

Clearly I'm making ratatouille tomorrow. Thank you!

Love your section on The Give. Know that moment really well…and that it can apply to people.
