C@H FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Pronounced Ra-goo.  Traditionally, ragout was a thick, brown, well-seasoned meat stew.  But not anymore - vegetable ragouts (shown right), seafood ragouts, even fruit ragouts pepper cookbooks and restaurant menus. 

Common themes are low slow-cooking and generous-seasoning, so create away and let us know what you come up with.
