Le Creuset launches new Recipe App

“What’s for supper tonight?”

Le Creuset has the answer to that perennial question in the form of our newly launched Recipe App, now available for iOS and Android. Users can cook up a storm in the kitchen, with the new app ensuring you’ll never be stuck for ideas when planning your next feast – whether a sit-down family meal or festive dinner party for friends.

The dynamic app features a repository of more than 500 recipes from different cuisines; effectively a virtual “buffet” of dishes to choose from. This unique cookery tool puts a collection of varied recipes straight into the palm of the hand, delivering a convenient and easy-to-use package across all platforms.

With a newly redesigned website, heavy social media presence and informative blog, the Recipe App is just one more way in which Le Creuset keeps itself on-point with meeting user demands for new digital trends. The app merges the best part of our 90 year-long heritage with an emphasis on constantly being innovative.

One of the app’s standout features is its very useful shopping list, which makes buying ingredients for your culinary creation a breeze. The list takes the concept of the standard recipe book and expands upon it – allowing ingredients to be checked off as the user shops. Eliza Acton, the Victorian-era cook whose pioneering cookbook introduced the now-universal practice of listing ingredients alongside each recipe, could never have imagined how far technology would simplify her original idea.

APP FEATURES

• Free download: Available for free from both the Apple and Google Play Stores, the app is widely accessible to a large audience. It can be downloaded to a smartphone or tablet device.
• User-friendly interface: The app has a user-friendly design which, even for the novice, is incredibly easy and intuitive to navigate.
• 500+ Recipes: A wide and varied collection of recipes encompassing breakfast, starters, mains, desserts, drinks, side dishes, sauces & dressings, snacks and more. The recipes are presented in a clear and simple format with steps that are easy to follow. Photos show the finished dish along with a serving suggestion.
• My Favourites: The user can save a selection of their favourite recipes in one convenient place, which can be returned to time and again for easy reference.
• Search: Users can explore by recipe or ingredient, simply by typing what that they are looking for directly into the search bar and then selecting one of the suggestions which come up.
• User ratings: Users have the option to rate each individual recipe after attempting it and also take into consideration other users’ ratings; giving an indication of which recipes are most popular.
• Shopping list: Saves time by automatically creating a shopping list from a chosen recipe. Users can seamlessly tap each ingredient in the list to tick them off as they shop. Sliding the recipe to the left of the screen easily removes it and the associated ingredients from the list.
• Stores Locator: Users can see where their nearest Le Creuset boutique store is, giving them the opportunity to stock up on essential cookware needed to prepare the recipes.

RECIPES

Below is a small sampling of just some of the amazing recipes you’ll find on our new app.

Turkey Champenoise
Stuffed with delicious cocktail sausages, layered with masses of crispy bacon and served on a bed of roasted baby potatoes and pearl onions, this turkey is bound to become a new family favourite.

Pork Chop and Vegetable Roast with Cider Gravy
In this recipe, pork chops are roasted over a selection of root vegetables to make a substantial, but speedy, roast ideal for weeknight cooking. The vegetables can be changed to suit different tastes, or you can use just potatoes and onions. The Roaster can be used on the hob to make a delicious, cider-flavoured gravy.

Tempura Prawns Peking-style
The special double-coating makes these prawns extra crunchy and delicious. Large, raw prawns are butterflied and coated in an aromatic paste of fresh ginger, spring onion and seasoning. The prawns are dusted in cornflour, dipped in tempura batter and then into breadcrumbs and deep-fried until golden and crunchy. Accompany with a readymade sweet chilli dip and some fresh coriander leaves. Perfect served as a starter or for party nibbles.

Kugelhopf with Almonds and Papaya
A classic from Alsace with an exotic twist, this elegantly sculpted cake is made using the Le Creuset Bundt Tin.

Granadilla Swirl Ice Cream
A swirl of granadilla curd runs through this soft and luscious ice cream, giving it a sunny flavour reminiscent of leisurely days spent on the beach or by the poolside. Serve generous scoopfuls in a Le Creuset Ice Cream Bowl, garnishing the ridge of the bowl with chocolate.

The Le Creuset Recipes App is available for iOS from the Apple Store, and for Android from the Google Play Store.
