Le Creuset's iconic pumpkin collection starts at £30 - I've found more affordable, autumnal alternatives too
It's serving-up Autumnal simmer pots, stews, soups, and more
Le Creuset officially kicked off pumpkin season with this year's release of its much-loved pumpkin-shaped casserole dishes. Available in creamy white, rich green, and their signature orange, they're the very essence of Autumn.
This year, there's also an extra treat for fans. Le Creuset's collection isn't just their iconic cast iron, it includes designs previously only available in the US, including the irresistibly cute pumpkin mug with its own lid and matching butter dish.
With Le Creuset's casserole dishes starting from £50, I've rounded up my favourite pieces. And, while the brand may be leading the charge, I've also been looking beyond Le Creuset for cast iron alternatives, as well as cookware and bakeware that brings the same seasonal charm to the kitchen without quite such a hefty price tag.
Autumnal tableware and Le Creuset Alternatives
As soon as Le Creuset announced their Autumn collection, we spotted lookalike pumpkin casserole dishes starting at just £15. Whilst we're still waiting for Aldi's famous pumpkin casserole dish Le Creuset twin, we've been browsing charming extras, including pumpkin oven gloves and spoon rests. There are plenty of ways to give your kitchen and table an autumnal update.
It feels like autumn is in the air for everyone. The White Company's collection is brilliant for bringing the outdoors in, whilst there are other cosy throws and earthy hues aplenty in different shops. And, of course, the kitchen is no exception. From beautiful casserole dishes in rich, autumnal shades to practical cookware and bakeware, all that's left is for us to dig out our heartiest, cosiest recipes for warming nights in.
