A Rainbow of Le Creuset Pans

Colour in the kitchen is the trend of 2015 and Le Creuset is fully embracing it. After the successful introduction of numerous accessories in bright colours, the rainbow has now cast it's colours over the cast iron range. The French manufacturer has introduced the roasting and casserole pans in no less than 15 different colours. In addition, 'the icon' has also undergone a re-styling; thanks to new insights and technology, the handles, lid and interior have been improved.

Own site
The renewed pans have even been given their own site. On www.mijnnieuwelecreuset.nl you can read all about the new colours, design and recipes. For those who cannot choose between the 15 colours, there is a special colour test. That way, you can find out exactly which colour suits you!

Blue = powerful, red = sexy, pink = seductive, bold = green, yellow = vivant and orange = experienced

High Quality
Le Creuset cast iron has been been known for it's high quality and durability for 90 years. Where possible, the manufacturer adjusts the pans to suit modern times and the demands of users. Thus a new, stronger enamel on the inside makes the pan even more resistant to food acids, scratches, thermal shocks and is easier to clean. The braising / stewing pans have ergonomic handles that are 45% larger than the previous ones ensuring a better grip. The lid design has also been adjusted so that it fits better and the food retains more juices and flavour. The stainless steel handle is heat-resistant and ergonomic.

All Heat Sources
Le Creuset cast iron is suitable for any heat source (even induction). In addition, the cast iron is 100% recyclable and energy efficient, thus better for our planet. The cast iron pans, grills and trays come with a life long manufacturer's warranty.

Le Creuset products are available at better department stores, cooking and household stores. For more information visit the web shop: www.lecreuset.nl

Steak TartareCumin Cod with Fennel and ChickpeasCappuccino Pavlova


Apple Pancakes

Serves 4

Ingredients
for the pancakes
¾ cup milk (about 200 ml)
1½ tablespoons vinegar
1 cup flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 egg
2 tablespoons oil

caramelized apples
2 tablespoon butter
2 apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
⅓ cup maple syrup

Method
Whisk together the milk and vinegar and allow to rest for 5 minutes.

While the milk is curdling (the milk will literally start to separate. Don't be alarmed, this is supposed to happen!), whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt in a large bowl. Whisk egg and oil into milk. Add the wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until combined (don't over-mix, it should still have some lumps).

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and grease with some sunflower oil. Pour large spoonfuls of the batter into the pan. Cook about 2 minutes until bubbles form and the edges start to look "dry". Use a spatula to flip the pancakes and cook another 1-2 minutes on the other side. Set the pancakes aside and repeat with remaining batter.

Using the same pan, add the butter, apples, brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir over medium heat 3-5 minutes until apples are tender. Add the maple syrup. Serve the apples over the warm pancakes.
