A gourmand is someone who finds great joy in cooking and eating. They savor every moment. They turn dining into an art. And they were the inspiration for our new Gourmand Collection.
Ideal for single servings, these elegant, individually sized pieces are perfectly proportioned to create delicious dishes just for you. Crafted in matte black enameled cast iron, the Gourmand Collection features five purpose-built shapes—the Braiser, Cocotte, Skillet, Oval Baker and Rectangular Baker—to give you the flexibility to make every meal special. Each design comes in a set of four so you can tackle a multi-course dinner for one or elevate a dinner party with chic individual servings, experimenting with flavor profiles, fillings and ingredients.
The French have a saying: ça ou ça?, which simply means this or that. With so many possibilities on the table, your only challenge will be choosing what to make—this... or that?

Pasta Possibilities
No food comforts quite like pasta, particularly baked pasta which invites you to light some candles, pour a glass of wine and savor a cozy dinner. We developed two different pasta recipes that showcase the Gourmand Collection Rectangular Baker’s superior heat retention and elegant design—perfect for serving tableside, right from the oven.
Enjoy the classic flavors of Baked Rigatoni with Ricotta and Herbs in a rich tomato sauce or indulge in an elevated Four Cheese Mac and Cheese topped with crispy prosciutto breadcrumbs. Delight in every bite.

Pick Your Paella
When you think of paella, perhaps you imagine a quintessential party-sized paella pan simmering a colorful feast for a crowd. But paella isn’t only for special occasions. Inspired by the bold flavors of the beloved Spanish rice dish, these easy, yet rewarding, paella recipes are precisely portioned to bake in the single-serve Gourmand Collection Skillet. Saffron, the vibrant yellow spice, shines in the Valencian rice dish, lending its earthy, floral flavor. Enjoy a traditional Sausage and Shrimp Paella or keep it light with a Fresh Vegetable Paella.

Sweet or Savory?
The Gourmand Collection was designed to nurture creativity in the kitchen. Fire up your imagination as you explore the many varieties of dishes you can make with each piece. For starters, try your hand at these Sweet or Savory Popovers. The iconic French quick bread bakes up light and seriously fluffy in the Gourmand Collection Cocotte. Burnished a beautiful golden brown in the oven, they’re lovely to savor alongside your dinner, or serve with a morning spread of spread of sweet butter and jam.

Side Show
Sometimes side dishes are so delicious they steal the show. That might happen when you make this Creamy Corn and Poblano Casserole. This flavorful side combines sweet corn, earthy peppers, fresh tomatoes and tangy cheese for a bright, creamy accompaniment to straightforward proteins like grilled steak or chicken. Another decadent option is Jansson’s Temptation, a traditional Swedish potato gratin from The Fishwife Cookbook and the iconic tinned fish producer. This anchovy-laced potato casserole is rich in flavor that keeps you reaching for more, thanks to the savory umami that the Cantabrian anchovies impart. Whatever side you choose, the cast iron Gourmand Collection retains its heat so you can make these individual casseroles ahead and relax while you put the final touches on the rest of your meal.

This versatile dessert can be customized to showcase any fruit that is in season, pairing fruit at peak sweetness with a crisp, buttery topping.

Bake one for your own personal indulgence or serve it to a few friends to end the night on a sweet note. As the year shifts into different seasons, be sure to try the recipe with other fruit combos, such as blueberry-peach, pear-cranberry or apple cinnamon.
