Gusteau encourages Remy to go up through the sewers and find out where he is now.
Through a fusion of grief, loneliness and hunger, Remy begins to hallucinate that the illustration of Chef Gusteau is talking to him. Hours later, Remy sits, reading the cookbook, waiting for a sign of his friends and family. Remy uses the cookbook as a flotation device but is separated from the group by a rapid current in the sewers. The rats manage to escape on miniature rafts into a river. Django orders everyone to evacuate but Remy stays behind to grab Gusteau's book. They manage to evade her, but the roof of the house is shot multiple times and collapses, exposing the entire rat colony. While reacting to the news of Gusteau's death, Remy accidentally wakes Mabel, who attempts to kill him and Emile with a shotgun. A heartbroken Gusteau died soon after, which meant the loss of another star according to tradition.

While inside, Remy sees Gusteau on TV and listens in, but he learns that a famous food critic named Anton Ego (Peter O'Toole), known for having viciously high standards, gave Gusteau's restaurant a less-than-stellar review that resulted in the restaurant losing one of its five stars. Emile hesitates, but agrees to go with his brother. One day, Remy takes Emile into the kitchen to get some spices that will go with some other food samples they have gathered. Before long he has a near-expert level of knowledge about food preparation. Despite his father's orders, Remy spends several nights in the home of an old lady, Mabel, (which is where the rats have colonized), reading Chef Gusteau's cookbook and watching television programs about cooking. But Django, who hates and fears humans, forbids Remy (and all other members of the clan) to interact with them. Remy is not happy about the rats having to steal food from the garbage he would prefer to go to the kitchen and take the "fresh" samples. Django puts Remy to work sniffing and testing food for the rest of the clan. Remy's brother Emile (Peter Sohn) is impressed by this talent, but their father Django (Brian Dennehy) who leads the rats' colony, could care less - until Remy reveals that he can recognize the scent of rat poison in or near food. Remy states that he has enhanced senses of both taste and smell, which makes him very meticulous about what he eats. He's also the author of a bestselling cookbook that proudly bears his mantra, "Anyone Can Cook!" A rat named Remy (Patton Oswalt) begins talking about his life in monologue fashion. The movie opens with a TV documentary featuring Chef Auguste Gusteau (Brad Garrett), the youngest chef in France to receive a five-star rating and owner of the best restaurant in Paris.Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user AMBRAKELLY.The synopsis below may give away important plot points. Let cool for about 20 minutes before handling and enjoy! Take off the foil and bake for another 10 minutes or until the veggies are visibly soft (but not brown) and the tomato sauce is bubbling around the veggies. Top with some salt and pepper to taste Cover with foil and bake for about 40 minutes. When you are done, spread the vinaigrette (from the tomato sauce) on top of the veggies.
Spread a generous layer of the tomato sauce on the bottom of a 9X13 oven-safe pan and arrange the vegetables on top of the sauce with just a little of each veggie showing (kind of like an accordion- if you have seen the movie Ratatouille, it should be done like that).
Get out a mandolin (or a very sharp knife) and slice the vegetables very thin. *Note: I use about 1 tsp of red pepper flakes to give it a mellow kick, you can use more or less (or none!) as suits your taste.Ĭut the ends off the remaining vegetables. Whisk in an extra 3 tbsp of olive oil and another 1 tbsp of balsamic vinegar to create a vinaigrette. Separate 1/3 C of the tomato sauce you just made and put into a mixing bowl. Fish out the sprigs of the rosemary, thyme, oregano and sage and discard (they will probably be just bare sticks). The sauce will reduce, thicken to a more paste-like consistency and will darken a little in color. Turn the heat down to medium-low and let simmer, covered, for about 25ish minutes, stirring occasionally. When the tomatoes become soft and start to fall apart add the tomato sauce, balsamic vinegar, red pepper flakes* (see note), garlic salt and salt and pepper to taste. Add the garlic and sautee for 30 seconds, until the garlic is golden and fragrant, then add the fresh tomatoes. Sautee until fragrant and then add the onion and continue sauteeing until the onion is translucent.
Heat the oil over medium heat in a large pan and put the fresh herb sprigs in (the whole enchilada). *Note: you'll probably have some veggies leftover.
