Product Description

Product Description

This cookbook includes 40 sweet and savoury recipes especially created for the Le Creuset Petite Casserole (Mini-Cocotte), highlighting its versatile cooking and serving features.

The petite casserole is the perfect marriage of style and function. With these miniature casseroles, home cooks can make individual servings of pot pies, stews, soups, appetizers and even desserts in attractive stoneware cookware that moves easily from oven to table.

Both easy and inventive, the recipes featured in this book include both savoury and sweet recipes to appeal to all taste buds. Ranging from traditional to innovative, savoury to sweet, they can be served for everyday meals or special occasions. For savoury dishes try the Chicken Pot Pies, Cherry Tomato Tatins, or Little Thai Cocottes. For sweet desserts try the indulgent Chocolate Cocottes with Molten Hearts or Mini Cheese Cakes. The book is full of ideas and will no doubt inspire the menu of your next dinner party.

Le Creuset Stoneware

Practical and versatile Le Creuset stoneware is designed to go from the freezer to the oven and to the table in style. Manufactured using the highest quality material and techniques, Le Creuset stoneware offers much greater resistance to extreme temperature changes. The tough craze-free glass is totally hygienic – it will not absorb food or flavours and is stain and scratch resistant and has an easy clean finish.

Hygienic:

The smooth enamelled surface is scratch resistant and makes for fast, easy cleaning. The totally hygienic cooking surface will not absorb odours or flavours. Perfect for storing foods (raw or cooked) in the refrigerator or freezer. Will clean easily by hand or by dishwasher if used in accordance with our care and use.

Adaptability and versatility:

Baking, roasting, storage, or preparation, Le Creuset has a Stoneware dish to do the job. Easy to hold, sure grip handles, knobs and rims. Le Creuset is available in a wide range of colours that match our cast iron range and are equally at home in the kitchen or on your dining table.

By Mirage HALL OF FAME TOP 50 REVIEWER
NEW expanded edition now 40 recipes - 15 more recipes than in the original version, all dedicated to using the dinky little STONEWARE dish aka as the 0.25L 'MINI-COCOTTE', from LE CREUSET!

Spring 2011/ Lec. English version
Lissa Streeter & Loic Nicoloso

This recipe book is aimed at the type of cook/entertainer who likes to present individual dishes, as is (at the time of writing) becoming a more fashionable trend.
Each recipe is compiled and designed to be presented in four of the 0.25L mini-cocottes.

The introductory pages of this colourful book describe the origins of the cast iron foundry in France and goes on to describe one of the first ever produced items:

'.....a Cocotte........
It is a cast iron French oven and this shape, and indeed the name, was the pivot of what is now an extensive range of cookware.
Our Stoneware Mini-Cocotte is a tribute to our cast iron heritage.'

The introduction includes general use and care of Le Creuset STONEWARE, inc.:

* durability
* ease of handling
* vitreous surface

Oven/Grill/Broiler/Microwave/Freezer/Dishwasher safe but Le Creuset's Stoneware range cannot be used on a direct heat source.

The book measures approximately 20.5 cm square.

Adorned with 'Mini Cottage Pie with Curry', from pages 52/53, the quality hardback cover opens to 96 thick shiny pages, offering the 40 recipes, presented in this sized Mini-Cocotte, available in an ever expanding rainbow of colours.

The table of contents pages at the front is split into:

* The Savoury Selection pg 12-61 (25 recipes)
* The Sweet Selection pg 62-93 15 recipes)

with each recipe title also appearing, alphabetically, in the index at the back, although it can be hard to find something quickly due to e.g 'Little Swiss Cocottes' being under 'L' and 'Mini Orange Polenta Cakes' and everything else starting 'MINI' being under 'M'!

The two sections: Savoury Cocottes & Sweet Cocottes, each have a double-page spread opening with a simple cocotte photo on the right and the complete list of recipes included in the chapter, on the left. 'Sweet Cocottes' also follows through as a bottom of the page identifier for the second half of the book.

Each recipe has the title, the list of ingredients (Metric/US) and oven temperatures, along with the method, which often includes a useful note or two.

The recipes are on the left-hand page, accompanied on the right by a full-page colour photograph - and the mouth-watering photography really makes this book!
The text is generally fairly small and in a mix of (occasionally irritating) faint pastel colours, which can be hard to read in a poor light.
The preparation time and cooking time, with the number of servings (4) appear in one circular diagram.
Another coloured circular diagram also appears on each with a helpful 'mod' or general note.

It should be emphasised that these are 'little' dishes and I have found that I can have some 'leftovers', especially on the savoury choices, but I just dish up another one and pop it in the fridge or the freezer!
Another slight niggle is the lids don't fit on a number of the completed dishes so can minimise the special presentation impact, e.g. depending on the size of the apples in 'Cinnamon Apples' & the thickness of the crusty bread on the 'Mini Onion Soups', but I am sure that more patient, and craftier cooks than me could cope!
To date, my favourite recipes are 'Chocolate Cocottes with Molten Hearts,' from pages 70/71 & 'Pear Bread Puddings', from pages 74/75, which I often serve together as a pud choice at larger gatherings.

Other recipes include:

* Cod on a Bed of Leeks and Potato Vitelottes (Black Potatoes)
* Cockerel with Green Olives and Falafel
* Mini Leek Gratins with Cream and Mustard
* Hazelnut Sponge Cake with Mascarpone & Seasonal Fruit
* Frozen Rose Soufflés
* Upside Down Plum Tarts

Most unusual ingredients have a possible source e.g. 'Limoncello in most wine merchants' or 'Kaffir Lime Leaves in Asian speciality stores', if online ordering is not an option.
