Le Creuset in Quince

I’m gearing up for a ski weekend at Mt Baker, and by gearing up, I mean planning our menu. (Truth be told, we get almost as much excitement about the great meals we’ll eat as we do about an epic powder day). I’m keeping it relatively simple for the first night, with a go-to bouillabaisse recipe from one of my favourite James Barber cookbooks, One Pot Wonders. (We featured his simple but tasty fishcakes from the same book in the magazine a few years ago). Recipe down, now I just need the perfect pot to cook it in—and wouldn’t you know it, Le Creuset has just launched a new colour. A dutch oven in Quince, a warm yellow that’s a perfectly sunny shade for a winter weekend, will host the bouillabaisse on top the stove, and stay warm in the oven for those Nexus-less friends stuck at the border.
