Bring the Garden to the Table
The French will tell you that the “potager”—a small garden planted steps from the kitchen—is not a place, but a philosophy. The literal translation of the French word means “for the soup pot,” implying that all the tender herbs, flowers and vegetables carefully tended in the potager are intended to be cooked with and shared around the table. This commitment to following the rhythms of nature results in food that is fresh, diverse and dictated by the seasons.
The traditional French potager has varied in formality and structure over centuries, but today, it most often describes a small, informal garden where herbs, vegetables and flowers bloom together in a loose, romantic style. It is typically located near the kitchen so that the cook can easily step out to snip herbs or harvest produce for whatever meal they are preparing. In fact, the kitchen garden is such a significant concept in French cuisine that “potager” also became the title of a chef who focuses on soup and sauces.
Le Creuset pays homage to this fresh, seasonal way of cooking by naming our newest exclusive green after one of the herbs commonly grown in little kitchen gardens around the world. Thyme is a tribute to the joy of cooking with ingredients grown close to home—and a reminder to savor the gifts of the garden.
