Look who's on the cover!

When we travel around to different kitchen stores, the colorful displays of Le Creuset Cookware always catch our eye. 

In a great store in California 


...in this kitchenware store in France's Loire Valley.  

This spring we visited the Le Creuset Signature Store in Charlston, SC (their US headquarters) which was chockoblock full of everything Le Creuset, including dinnerware


Could this be coming soon to your store? 


For the recent Charleston Wine & Food Festival, Le Creuset created a limited edition set of 3 mini dutch ovens in Gullah Blue, named for the language and culture of  the South Carolina Low Country's first inhabitants.   


Lovely color, yes? 

Le Creuset's newest color, Fennel is featured on the cover of the HTI Late Summer Flyer.  It's a perfect choice too, as Fennel reflects the season--a just picked garden fresh hue that adds a splash of color to the kitchen--and to the cover of the flyer.
