The theme of the cooking challenge this week is Movie or Book (or TV or whatever you please) Inspired. I was very close to making a Rotisserie Chicken – Brittany Murphy’s character’s crazy obsession in Girl, Interrupted , but I wasn’t sure on how to rig up a rotisserie, and I was also looking for a lighter fare. I chose a more obvious dinner: Ratatouille.

I followed Smitten Kitchen’s Ratatouille recipe to the T, and it came out very well! I served it on top of quinoa, which was cooked in chicken broth to give it some more flavor.
