Christmas in Crème

A classic colour that will never go out of style – Crème is an elegant essential for your festive celebrations.

For hosts wanting to pull their home entertainment and kitchen decor look together, Crème is an ideal colour choice. Stock up on items that do double duty as everyday essentials and entertaining must-haves.

The New Neutral

What keen cook wouldn’t want to open their gifts to discover they’ve been spoilt with stoneware and Cast Iron cookware in Le Creuset’s Crème? Whether you choose to dress your Christmas table in a series of glam metallics or opt for a more traditional palette of red and green – Crème is the neutral you need. It marries beautifully with any other colour and is the ideal canvas for showing off everything from bright and beautiful desserts to fresh salads and just-seared prawns.

Classic Good Looks

If you’re expecting a crowd, why not dress your festive lunch buffet table with a collection of Crème stoneware items? For a well-set Christmas party table, first create a central focal point on the table – a cake stand with a beautiful cake or tart on it or a mini Christmas tree are all good ways to start. Now set out your serving dishes – with cold dishes on one side of the table and space for warm dishes on the other – luckily you can take Le Creuset Casseroles and baking dishes straight from the oven to the table and you know they’ll look great. Pop cutlery into a utensils crock for easy access and layer serviettes between plates for your guests’ convenience.

Fabulously Festive Food

Set the festive scene by styling your food like a professional – a mix of different sized and shaped dishes is a good place to start. For canapés, fill a tray with Giant Cappuccino Mugs of gazpacho, or Espresso Cups filled with individual portions of crudites teamed up with tasty dips in Ramekins. Line up bruschetta topped with salmon, cream cheese and caviar like soldiers on a Barbecue Platter and don’t forget the cheese platter and a jug for water or Christmas punch.

Crème is the new classic that will never go out of date – a perfect partner for food and every other colour under the Le Creuset sun.
