“Purists will rebel, but too bad”: Stéphanie Le Quellec shares her recipe for ratatouille

“Much more than a Proust madeleine, ratatouille is cult”, for Stephanie Le Quellec. On Instagram, the two-starred chef wanted to share her own recipe inspired by her grandmother’s. “Purists will rise up, but too bad”, she says in her publication. Change is good. “Taking ownership of the recipes, adding a lot of love and feeling to them, and so on a great classic is much better even though it has been freely interpreted”explains Stephanie Le Quellec. “So yes […] the vegetables are cut in large chunks and not in mirepoix and are not pan-fried individually” but this is certain: this dish could well be honored on the menu of his restaurant La Scène. To obtain a ratatouille worthy of a chef, here are all the steps to follow.
