Soft velvet jeans colored Le Creuset
During my recovery from bariatric surgery, I found it challenging to eat meals and struggled to get essential nutrients. Disclaimer: My situation was very unique – my co-worker and I had the same surgery and her dairy intolerance was cured, mine got worse! Le Creuset was my saving grace!
My love affair with Le Creuset began innocently enough. It all started with a roaster and wok in Oyster color. I was in bed recovering from surgery, and the nice lady at a nearby Le Creuset outlet took my order and payment over the phone. She even sent pictures to help with my decision-making! Within a few short days, I had my new cooking tools and, thus, my culinary journey began!
It’s unclear when a line was crossed in my relationship with Le Creuset. Maybe it happened when I started visiting Le Creuset stores weekly. Or when I renovated my spare bedroom to serve as a pantry. Or maybe when I stopped telling my boyfriend about my new Le Creuset purchases! (Yes, it was definitely when I stopped talking about it.)
Nowadays, I’m more restrained in color selection, but my heart skipped a beat when I recently saw the new Chambray color on the Le Creuset website. It spoke to me. So, I got the Sauteuse and 5-Piece Signature Set.
Upon arrival, I decided to test out my new Le Creuset babies by cooking a week’s worth of vegan Ethiopian dishes along with my Lemon Kale Farro recipe and Mock-Chicken Taco sans tortilla recipe (see below).
