Stew in hell! An ode to my favourite pan

It's heavy, can't go in the dishwasher and takes ages to get up to temperature. The casserole. Nevertheless, it is my favourite pot.

How does port wine come to Russia?

"Russian-style ham" are ham rolls gratinated in a sauce made from cream, port wine and tomato paste. How the dish got its name is a mystery to me. After all, there are 3,689 kilometres between Porto and Moscow as the crow flies. In any case, I had never cooked it.

The casserole is God in the kitchen. Irreplaceable and indestructible. An investment for life and beyond. Because I'm definitely going to hell, I'm taking the pot with me. Then I can rightly say: "I'm stewing in hell with my Le Creuset".

When I flew the family nest over 15 years ago, I suddenly had to cook for myself. But it wasn’t long until this necessity became a virtue. Today, rattling those pots and pans is a fundamental part of my life. I’m a true foodie and devour everything from junk food to star-awarded cuisine. Literally. I eat way too fast.
