my Quorn "Naked Chick'n Cutlet" chili

It would have to be beef stew. This would definately be a Christmas wish come true!

Beef chuck roast with roasted mushrooms, onions, carrrots and potatoes. Mmmmmmmmmmm!!

Any type of stew will do. Or chili. Or applesauce. Or chicken and dumplings.

Braised short ribs. My wife makes these where they virtually melt in your mouth.

OH NO! I hate to be extreme, but I have longed for pots and pans from Le Creuset for some time now. And the color is exactly what I hoped my pots would be! Ok... down to business... What would I make with these lovelies? My Roasted Sweet Potato African Stew (needs both the oven and stove top, which these could handle wonderfully!). A good Persian Rice dish with cranberries and saffron would be awesome too though and I imagine the crust one would get from these would be praise-worthy. Well, crossing my fingers! Thanks AT!

Ham and pinto beans served with fried potatoes with green onions and cornbread. Yummy!!!!!

I love all things Creuset!!

Ropa Vieja - wonderful cuban dish.

cheesburger soup. Sounds not so great, but it's really a cheesy, meaty, potatoey stew....mmmmmm

chili!

I've been needing a good medium-sized pot for a really long time, and this is the best pot you could ever buy!

Small pot - veggie alternative for friends
Skillet - corn bread

All for a nice cold weekend get together!

I love turkey roasted slowly for several hours...yea....

hoh boy! winter: collard greens (with a vegetarian spin); summer: slow-cooking tomato sauce

A great selection of roasted veggies and chicken. For the veggies, red potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, red pepper, squash -- drizzled with olive oil and balsamic and fresh rosemary.

A simple chicken with sea salt, fresh ground pepper and lemon juice.

YUM!

coq au vin. definitely.

Chili with veggie burger bits (meat alternative)

A family favorite: pepperoncini beef. Good stuff!

My favorite slow cooked dish is my roasted veggie soup. I roast the veggies in the oven, then add stock and some more delicate ingredients and simmer all afternoon.

I have lust in my heart for these pans.

This is so pretty and would go in my kitchen so well! My favorite slow-cooked dish is corned beef with cabbage and potatoes. YUMMMMMMMM

oh, the many varieties of chili! black bean chili with winter squash would be delicious in one of these pots!

brisket - what can i say, i grew up in texas!

I have to go with Chili - my secret though is I add a little bit of dark chocolate chips right at the end. It adds a wonderful depth to the chili!!

Very nice

Wow, whoever gets this will be very lucky! I'd make a pot roast.

Oh, wonderful--and so hard to decide on my favorite and first thing I'd cook with these--but I think it would have to be my favorite chicken curry. MMMMM......

BBQ Pork

Mmmmm . . . Leftovers made into a Turkey Stew!

My favorite slow-cooked dish is turkey breast. I tried it for Thanksgiving and liked it so much I've made it twice since!

oh, i've been DYING to get a set of these to tuck under the tree for my sweetie!!!

i think we'd do a nice slow mushroom soup that simmers away all day. and then maybe a stove-top chocolate fudge cake!!

spicy green beans with mustard and feta... good! or a slow pot of beans... or roasted winter vegetables and onion...

a good slow cooked pot roast with lots of potatoes!!!

duck confit. absolutely the most amazing way to eat duck.

Braised leeks.

Thank you for your time, and the opportunity to enter this giveaway.

Have a beautiful day,
Lesley

Chicken soup...yum!

Coconut curry with sweet potatoes, okra and eggplant. Mmm, so delicious.

beef burgundy.

Beef Stew, absolutly, with fresh vegetables, big chunks of potato, and homemade bread on the side.

irish oatmeal, the kind that hasn't been rolled (or flattened), so it looks almost like risotto as you cook it with cream and brown sugar, and top with dried cherries or sliced strawberries depending on season.

that or (in a different le creuset pot) braised leeks.

My favorite is Risotto-- I love to make it in many varieties, pumpkin for fall, blue cheese and veggies in winter. Yum. I'm hungry now...

white beans with sage. so simple but oh-so-perfect. the longer they cook the creamier they become. heaven. I could make a big pot and eat them for days as is, or spread them on toast, or pile them under poached eggs, or puree them with broth into soup, or stuff them along with sauteed spinach into sweet peppers or...

My homemade chili made with breakfast sausage, beans, tomatoes, and secret spices.
