Cooking in a cauldron
Approche Libre wants to put the cauldron back at the heart of the home
Cooking outdoors... or in your fireplace
Cooking in a cauldron is more than just a meal:
It's an act of autonomy, a cultural transmission, a special moment... to be shared.
We are convinced that this ancestral method of cooking over a wood fire deserves its place alongside the barbecue to bring a touch of originality and conviviality to our tables.
A slower, more rooted, freer cuisine...
With our three-legged cauldron you can easily cook outside, or simply in the hearth of a fireplace .
Approche Libre® is taking a gamble on starting a trend. ...and it starts now!
