Cooking in a cauldron

3 Periods... 1 Fire

We have created three unique kits to discover the diversity of cooking in a cauldron: Gallic Cuisine, Medieval Cuisine and French Countryside Cuisine from the 1930s .

These gift sets are the result of meticulous research. Each recipe uses ingredients rigorously selected based on available historical records.

We want to restore the cauldron cooking tradition to its rightful place and also offer our selection of equipment to allow you to get started right away.

🇫🇷 Approche Libre® is the only French brand of three-legged cauldron.
