Spring Entertaining: How to Elevate Your Outdoor Feast with LeCreuset

As the warmth of spring begins to settle in, there’s no better time to get outside, soak up the sunshine, and enjoy a beautiful feast with friends and family. Recently, I was lucky enough to get my hands on LeCreuset’s stunning new ceramics set in their latest colourway, Sombre—a gorgeous mix of blue hues that happens to pair perfectly with my favourite denim outfit. It’s not just a pretty face though; this set is a must-have for anyone who loves to host a stylish dinner party.

Why Colourful Ceramics are a Game-Changer

When it comes to creating a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach, colourful ceramics are the secret weapon. Think about most of the foods we eat—browns from roasted meats, whites from potatoes or bread, greens from salads and veggies. While delicious on their own, these colours truly pop when set against vibrant tableware. For spring and summer entertaining, especially outdoors, bright blue ceramics like Leo’s Sombre set can make even the simplest meals look extra appetising.

Setting the Scene

This spring, I decided to take a risk by pairing my blue set with pops of yellow—and let me tell you, it worked wonders! The yellow ranunculus flowers I picked up add the perfect complement to the chambray blue of the ceramics. Together, they create a relaxed yet elegant vibe that’s perfect for an outdoor gathering.

And what’s a spring feast without some comfort food? In the pot, I’ve prepared a delicious roast lemon chicken with roasted potatoes, seasoned to perfection with lemon thyme and rosemary. Not only does this dish smell amazing, but it also looks incredible against the cool blue hues of the plates.

The Perfect Shade for Every Occasion

What I love most about this set is its versatility. The Sombre blue is a relaxed, soothing shade with grey undertones, making it the perfect match for any palette. Whether you want to go full-on coastal with all shades of blue or balance it with crisp whites for a minimalist look, this set transitions beautifully from casual lunches to formal dinners, season after season.

So, if you’re thinking about updating your kitchen or your dining set for spring and summer, take the plunge and go for something colourful. You’ll be amazed at how much it can elevate your meals—and trust me, you won’t look back!
