I am professional chef in the Los Angeles area. Here I'm known as Chef Steele. Le Creuset Shoppe is intended to be an online resource for all things Le Creuset. I guess I'm really a brand loyalist! I love to cook but I especially love to cook with Le Creuset. Le Creuset is one of the finest if not the finest brand of cookware on the market. This site can help you in your search for Le Creuset products and be an integral part of your education about this fine cookware company. And maybe we'll all learn a thing or two along the way. Cooking is a joy and there's always more to discover.
