Le Creuset flame French oven
lecreuset.co.uk

To simplify your last minute planning, take the fuss out of decorating and forego the cobwebs and fuzzy tarantulas.

Instead, set the table with Le Creuset’s signature “flame” French oven. Have it bubbling over with tried and true beef stew and you’ve got something akin to a tabletop jack-o-lantern with far more interesting contents. Ladle heaping portions into black, stoneware bowls and you’ve also got your festive orange and black Halloween color scheme taken care of.

There is no need to create additional storage for these items after the ghosts and goblins have gone; Le Creuset’s classic flame colored, enamel cookware, first produced in 1934, is a signature for the company and should be proudly displayed, as well as utilized for inspired meals, year round.

Bonus - these French ovens slow cook the whole meal for you, giving you plenty of time to search your closet for a costume, or the perfect scary movie to watch.

No matter the occasion, good friends and good food are a classic combination for a successful party. Happy Halloween –Enjoy!
