Your foodie Valentine wants these gifts
Nothing says "love" to a foodie quite like a Le Creuset Dutch oven in their classic Flame hue, or the perfect cookbook that shows you appreciate their impeccable taste and love of physical books. You didn't think of either of these things did you? Well don't worry, that's our job and we take it very seriously.
Whether you suspect the person you love loves chocolate more than they love you, or you're constantly in awe of their seemingly endless grip of culinary trends — we've got the perfect gifts for you. Because Valentine's Day is about love, and everyone loves food.

Yes, it's a splurge gift. Yes, it's worth it. Any foodie worth their salt has a minimum of at least one Dutch Oven, and hey, there's always room for one more.
