For cooks who see cookware as part of the kitchen’s personality, a new zodiac-themed guide offers an unconventional buying cue: let an astrologer help choose the colour of a Le Creuset piece.
Delish’s guide to Le Creuset colours by zodiac sign matches colour recommendations to each of the 12 signs. The premise is playful rather than practical, but it may appeal to shoppers faced with a broad palette of recognisable enamel finishes.
Colour can still be a useful consideration for cooks in Montenegro. A richly coloured casserole dish can move from the hob to the table for a family-style serving of beans, braised meat or a seafood-based supper, while a more restrained shade may suit a compact holiday kitchen or rental apartment.
Astrology cannot determine which pot size, shape or material best fits a recipe. Those decisions should come down to the number of diners, the available cooking surface and the dishes a cook prepares most often. But for anyone already choosing between colours, the zodiac can provide a cheerful final nudge.
