Ratatouille is a beloved Disney animated movie that both children and adults came to love. It made the art of cooking exciting, urging us to explore and be experimental.
There was a scene in the movie where Remy and his brother were on a scavenging mission. He found a fragrant mushroom and a piece of cheese. He combined them with some herbs and attempted to smoke them on a chimney. The mushroom puffed up like popcorn when struck by lightning.
Jaya Saxena shares that she almost set her house on fire trying to recreate the lightning mushroom. She wanted to achieve Remy's "mmmm ZAP” of flavor, a “lightning-y” tang.
