Why Ratatouille is an Absolute Must Try Vegan Dish

Traveling the world has always been the dream of many people, and with most of the world under lockdown or in critical condition due to the novel coronavirus, this dream is both less plausible but more desirable. 

“Where will you go once the Quarantine Ends?” is a question many travel-loving vegans are asking themselves, even to the point of planning itineraries. When the option to exit one’s comfort zone and step into a brand new environment is denied, the world itself seems to shrink, to become just the confines of your house. This is why Ratatouille is an important piece of vegan cuisine during the quarantine.

You might have heard about ratatouille from that one Disney film. Ratatouille is a wholly vegan dish originating from the pastoral Provence region of France. Before its mainstream popularity soared in 2007 (thanks to the Disney movie), ratatouille was more well-known as simple farmer’s fare, a hearty meal prepared from homegrown vegetables. 

Because, ratatouille is a French cultural vegan dish, one that can be prepared in numerous and unique ways. Have you ever wanted to sample a culturally distinct, yet wholly plant-based meal? Then ratatouille is the dish for you! The thing about sampling the various cuisines of the world is that in a way, you are also immersing yourself in a different culture, experiencing a vast and fascinating history with your taste buds. You might not be able to go on vegan culinary cruises right now, but with a plate full of ratatouille, you can manage to wait a bit longer.  Ratatouille can even be prepared in various ways, ensuring that you won’t be tired of feasting on this great Provencal dish any time soon. If you want the ideal quarantine cuisine, consider making some ratatouille.
