Wooden Magnetic Trivet
Having the trivet stick to the bottom of my Dutch oven when I’m moving it around is a total win—no more scrambling to grab something extra when it’s hot! It’s the little things that I love about my Le Creuset products
Magnetic Oven Mitts
I love the use of magnets with Le Creuset products. The magnetic oven mitts, stick on my dishwasher or fridge which make them so convenient for easy access
Side Handle Grips
They’re small but make a big difference when I'm pulling my dutch oven or braiser out of the oven. Also, they're dishwasher friendly, for easy cleaning

After taking various courses to improve her culinary skills and gaining experience in several establishments, she had the chance to publish her first recipe book, Simplement chic, in 2019. Five years later, she now has 8 culinary books to her name, a line of signature products sold in grocery stores, as well as a wine house.

Multi-Purpose Dutch Oven
"This is the Dutch Oven I use the most. For a large batch of sauce like marinara or bolognese, I use the 6.7L. For a soup or even cooking pasta, I go with the 4.2L."

Ideal for Entertaining
"Thanks to its shape, the saucier is perfect for making sauces and reductions. It's important to have a small saucepan when you want to reduce sauces or other dishes, as it allows for a more intense and faster concentration of flavors! It's also super handy for reheating small amounts on the stove."
"If you, like me, enjoy entertaining, this rectangular casserole is a must! It's also so beautiful that I love placing it at the center of the table during meals for an Italian-style service, where everyone serves themselves. The lid is incredibly useful for keeping your pre-prepared dishes warm. My favourite dish to cook in this casserole: gratin dauphinois."

Deluxe Oval Trivet
I love this trivet because of its large size and oval shape, which allows it to support large pots and Dutch Ovens. A must-have if you enjoy serving dishes at the center of the table!
Complete Knife Set
Having good quality knives is, in my opinion, essential. These are my most used knives, especially the Santoku. The wooden handle makes them super comfortable to use.
Revolution® Medium Spatula
The perfect tool to avoid scratching the bottom of your pans and Dutch ovens. I use this spatula very often as it's truly multi-purpose. It also helps you scrape up every last drop of sauce to prevent waste!
Spoon Rest
A tool so simple, yet essential! It allows you to rest your spatulas, spoons, or any other utensil, keeping your countertop clean while you cook.

The only thing more important than having good knives is having well-sharpened knives. Nothing beats this little tool for a quick and safe sharpening, no matter your skill level!

Holiday Bread
"The only thing better than the smell of fresh bread is the smell of fresh holiday bread. The Le Creuset Bread Oven is the perfect oven to table vessel that’s as stunning as it useful."

Heirloom
"This heirloom Dutch Oven in Cerise is one we know our children will always remember. Whether serving a big roast, a large bird or the piece de résistance, it’s a piece sure to spark holiday nostalgia each time you bring it to the table."
"Our favourite way to bring the holiday spirit to our kitchen is with the Cerise and Artichaut pallet from Le Creuset. A simple way to add hints of classic red and green throughout our kitchen by swapping our everyday cups with red mugs, with touches of green through ramekins."
