Taste Of Archstone - Ratatouille Nature Documentary

As residents of the Archstone Pasadena in Pasadena, California, we made this cooking video to enter in the Taste Of Archstone competition.

The vegetables in this recipe are local organic vegetables from our neighborhood farmers market and our local farm delivery service (http://www.farmfreshtoyou.com). The herbs are grown right on our patio.

Somehow in nature documentaries, you always end up rooting for the male who tries to impress his lady love, whether it's a monkey throwing poo around or a bird doing an elaborate dance.

:D Hope he got some!
