Too hard for me, I'm afraid. Besides, my mind is troubled with all those juicy marrows I've got to use up before they go off. Oh, if only someone could post an authentic, freezer friendly, recipe for Sicilian ratatouille, if such a thing exists.

Hint, hint.

(appallingly cheeky blag, I know, but if you don't ask you don't get ;-) )

Curly, James?? Hello, HH. How nice to see you. By Sicil ratatouille, I presume you mean caponata? I posted an authrntic recipe here:

Sorry - I dunno how to put a link in the comments. Might be simpler to just enter "caponbata" in the search thing at the top, if you see what I mean.
Nunyaa, what are quizes for, if not for cheating?!
