Le Creuset: A Century of Colourful Cookware by Assouline Books

In honour of its 100th anniversary, Le Creuset is proud to announce the launch of Le Creuset: A Century of Colourful Cookware in collaboration with renowned Assouline Publishing. The special-edition coffee table book celebrates Le Creuset’s storied heritage, reputation for excellence and coveted artistry through a never-before-seen collection of photographs.

Since 1925, Le Creuset has been inspiring longstanding culinary traditions. Crafted in Fresnoy-le-Grand, France, each cast iron piece passes through fifteen artisans, ensuring the highest standards. Original photography captured exclusively for this title offers readers a behind-the-scenes look at this time-honoured process, from casting to molding to applying the colourful enamel.

Alongside the craftsmanship and vibrant hues, Le Creuset: A Century of Colourful Cookware celebrates the connection and inspired traditions the pioneering brand evokes – Grandmother’s chicken noodle soup, a family barbecue, the first time cooking a tagine, dining with friends around a fondue pot – showcasing gatherings across the globe and offering recipes to inspire your own.

An introduction by award-winning journalist Brett Martin traces the story of how Le Creuset has played an integral role in bringing people together for a hundred years, and how it will continue to do so for the next hundred, in a blaze of colourful glory.
