Le Creuset Heart Casserole Recipes and a Giveaway

There’s nothing more exciting than getting the opportunity to work with a brand that you truly, truly love. I got my first Le Creuset piece back in 2008 when I cashed in for an early birthday present. I got it specifically to bake bread, but it is easily one of the most used pieces in our kitchen.
So needless to say when Le Creuset contacted me about developing a few recipes to help promote some of their specialty pieces, well, I did a little happy dance. And then I got cooking.
And just in time for Valentine’s day, this adorable little heart casserole is perfect for a dinner for two, like this recipe for Fig and Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts featured on the Le Creuset website. Or even a romantic dessert, like the Flourless Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Port Sauce shown below. Because it’s such a versatile piece you can use it to sear, simmer, bake, braise, boil, or brown.

Cake in a Le Creuset… who would have thought?
But even more exciting than these delicious recipes… Le Creuset is offering up a Heart Casserole to one lucky L&OO reader! You know you want one.
The winner will receive this gorgeous Heart Casserole in the color of their choice (Cassis or Red), valued at $150. Do note that the red is currently back-ordered for 1-2 months, but if that’s the color your heart desires, just ask and you shall receive (as soon as it’s back in stock).
So, what are you waiting for?
Giveaway is now closed. Thanks for entering!
Congratulations to Amy, comment #298, who was randomly selected as the winner of this gorgeous casserole!

I’d bake (something chocolate) in a heart shaped (Le Creuset) pot and send it right back to you!!!!
Love, Mom
I want it! I’d make a cutesy little cake. So cute.
That Fig and Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts sounds delicious, and I also would love to cook up some lasagna soup in it as well. Or braise some meat. So many possibilities!
If I were lucky enough to win that beautiful Le Creuset casserole I would definitely make that Flourless Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Port Sauce ! The pictures are mouthwatering.. Yum !

Braised almond chicken! It’s a Spanish recipe, and I did a post on my blog, but I think it would be even better with such spectacular cookware :)

Thank you for the opportunity!!!
Chocolate lava cake!! Romantic anyway, but especially in a heart dish.
I yummy heart shaped steak and stilton pie for my chap who loves all things naughty and meaty.
and for me – who just loves my chap!!
Perhaps followed by a chocolate cake like the one in this post for pudding.
On the sofa.
With the fire going.
With wine.
Oh please – me me me ;-)
As a student, I really can’t afford this sort of cookware, and I love using the Le Creuset when I go home at the weekends. I cook in a pair with one of my housemates, so it would definitely become the most used piece of kitchenware in the house!
And yeah, that chocolate cake does look pretty amazing. :P
Liked both on Facebook :) Don’t know why I hadn’t before!
I would have to go for the cake! Maybe alter the recipe to make a coffee cake and have at a brunch with friends – so cute and clever!

I would make some delicious shrimp and crab cream cheese dip! Normally, I put it into jalapeños for stuffed peppers, but it makes a wonderful cracker dip. It’s definitely something my boyfriend wouldn’t mind me making for valentines day!
I think it would be fun to make a lasagna in the heart shaped casserole.
Both those recipes are killing me, they look so delicious! I don’t know why, but for some reason spaghetti and meatballs comes to mind when i look at the heart shape…maybe inspired by Lady and the Tramp? lmlynch2 at gmail dot com
