Autumn-winter is the long-awaited period to (finally) enjoy ultra-comforting dishes to share with family or friends. Among those that make us salivate there is of course the famous raclette, but in recent years the good recipes of our grandmothers have come back in force, such as the casserole dishes .
A little historical reminder:this type of cast iron dish was invented in the 1700s by the Welshman James Thomas - derived from the Dutch process called "dutch oven" - to braise meat but also to prepare traditional stews. Since the success of casserole dishes did not run out of steam quite the contrary.
Today the casseroles, small or large , are used for savory and sweet recipes . You can very well cook an egg casserole with porcini mushrooms as a starter, a chicken in beer with honey and mustard and finally for dessert a spiced rice pudding with exotic fruits. Thanks to its stew the flavors will intermingle, enough to make your dishes more gourmet andtasty .
Cocotte models have multiplied over the years, enough to get a little lost, but fortunately some brands stand out. The first of course, the most famous, is the French brand Staub . In the same vein, the brands Le Creuset and the Sublime are also doing well . You also have other references on the market, less high-end, such as Arthur Martin , Cookut or else Made .
All of them offer different casserole shapes:round, oval, mini or more special shapes… you are spoiled for choice according to your budget.
