Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.French cookware range Le Creuset has released a limited-edition festive collection to brighten up your 2020 Christmas plans.
The Holly Collection includes cappuccino mugs – going for as cheap as £13.50 and perfect for your post Christmas dinner coffee – as well as casserole dishes, bowls, jugs, pots and pans. Everything you’d need for a delicious (and Instagrammable) festive spread.
All pieces are embossed with a holly leaf design and are available in snow white matte and festive cherry red. A cast iron soup pot tops the budget at £245, while a utensil jar is available for £30, and a mixing bowl for £42.
The Stoneware Holly Cafetiere comes in at £57 – it might be pricier than your average French press but is available in both Christmassy colours and made from perfectly enamelled stoneware and specialist clays, as is the rest of the range.
For those undertaking the brunt of the Christmas cooking this year, a “petite” casserole dish is going for £20, and a cast iron saucier pan – complete with heat resistant handle and fit for hob, oven and grill usage – is available for £190.
The brand’s website has called the new line “an ode to Christmas”.
“Every piece is decorated with a delicate, embossed holly pattern," it reads. "Beautifully crafted, they make the perfect centrepiece for your table when you’re entertaining friends and family.”
Seeing as it’s a limited edition range, and Le Creuset is very popular, we don’t expect these goodies to stay in stock for long.
Le Creuset was the brainchild of two Belgian industrialists, Armand Desaegher and Octave Aubecq. It first appeared in French shops and department stores in the mid and late 1920s.
Little is known about Desaegher and Aubecq except that they met at the Brussels Fair only a year before opening the Le Creuset factory, which offered employment in an area devastated, economically and emotionally, by war.
All products from the Holly Collection are available to shop at lecreuset.co.uk.
