A parallel story, my cousin's husband was on a low rung of the executive ladder of his company. He invited several honchos and their wives to dinner. He gave his wife a $$ figure to put on this dinner. A pragmatist, she used a large chunk of her budget to buy a huge Descoware Dutch oven and made stew. Just as Gusteau was charmed by a simple but perfect bowl of rattatouille, the bosses and wives acknowledged the charm and audacity of this simple plate, with glimpses of this (then, the 1950s) extraordinary and unknown cooking vessel.
