Giving Le Creuset is giving the gift of time, time spent in the kitchen and around the able, now and for decades to come. And while the holidays can be a stressful time, this year we’re savoring every moment: the laughter, the lingering at a party, the last bites and treasured family traditions and recipes.
Join us to celebrate the holidays this year with a countdown of the 12 Days of Le Creuset. Each day, our gift to you is a delicious holiday recipe, tip for entertaining, gifting idea for that special someone on your list and more – gifts that last well beyond the unwrapping of the last present or the last dish washed and put away. Gifts you can savor for a lifetime.
