| Product Information |
| The Heritage Collection features signature specialty items in the color Flame that are synonymous with French cooking and with Le Creuset. Each item in the Heritage Collection comes with a bonus cookbook. Two French sisters, Carolina (1847-1911) and Stephanie (1838-1917) Tatin created the tart. The sisters lived in Lamotte-Beuvron, a small rural town in the Loire Valley of France, and ran l'Hotel Tatin. The elder sister, Stephanie, dealt with the kitchen. She was a particularly fine cook but a bit absent-minded. One day during the midday rush she started to make a traditional apple pie but left the apples cooking in butter and sugar for too long. Smelling the burning, she tried to rescue the dish by putting the pastry base on top of the pan of apples, quickly finishing the cooking by putting the whole pan in the oven. After turning out the upside down tart, she was surprised to find how much the hotel guests appreciated the dessert. The Tarte became a signature dish at the Hotel Tatin and the recipe spread through the country, finding lasting fame on the menu of Maxim's of Paris. In the mid 1920s, Octave Aubecq, Le Creuset co-founder and enameling specialist, sought to differentiate the company by creating an enamel that would mirror the color of molten cast iron in a crucible. His effort resulted in the creation of the color orange, called Flame in the US (Volcanique en Francais). As the original enamel color of Le Creuset cookware, Flame was an instant hit and established Le Creuset's position in the industry as the leader in colored cookware. Today Flame is Le Creuset's best-selling cast iron color in European markets such as France and the UK, and it is considered to be synonymous with the name Le Creuset. |
