La Cornue is the embodiment of French craftsmanship

The heritage of French cuisine is captured in every detail of a La Cornue cooker, where style is met with substance.


The French invented fine dining. Anyone who’s tasted the delicateness of a soufflé, or the drizzle of a perfectly balanced béarnaise sauce can attest to the refinement of a cuisine that has been honed for centuries. From Alain Ducasse to Julia Child, the French way of cooking has made its way around the world. And the French tools to create that subtle, flavourful cuisine are of equal note. Enter La Cornue.

La Cornue is not just a name in the culinary world, it is a testament to French heritage and a beacon of quality craftsmanship. For more than a century, La Cornue has been synonymous with the art of sophisticated living, catering to those who appreciate the finer things in life – especially those who find themselves at home in the kitchen.

More than just an appliance, a La Cornue cooker is a work of art. It is a fusion of excellence and refinement that transforms any kitchen with its unparalleled elegance and functionality.

The foundation of every La Cornue cooker comes down to its impeccable creation, where the expertise of skilled French artisans breathes life into each piece – transmuting detail into a masterpiece. Each craftsman has deep-rooted knowledge and passion, which ensures that every detail is perfect, from the sturdy cast iron frames to the iconic vaulted ovens.

The familiar classicism that defines the range is reflected through a deliberate choice of materials. Components are selected for durability and also for beauty, ultimately contributing to a product that is as handsome as it is functional.

Just like the world’s most decorated chefs have refined their techniques and execution to reach perfection, La Cornue’s commitment to excellence is evident in the constant evolution of its designs and precision techniques. While modern advancements have found their way into the products to enhance performance, La Cornue remains deeply connected to its artisanal roots. Each cooker is still handcrafted, a process that honours the traditions of French craftsmanship while embracing innovation. This dedication to quality is what makes La Cornue cookers not just kitchen appliances, but lifelong culinary companions.

As a member of the Entreprises du Patrimoine Vivant (Living Heritage Companies), La Cornue embodies the essence of the French way of life, with its strong emphasis on conviviality and shared experiences.  It is the incarnation of elegance and a dash of joie de vivre.

Owning a La Cornue cooker is more than just a statement of style, it’s an invitation to embrace a lifestyle where cooking becomes an art form, and every meal is an opportunity to indulge in the joys of fine dining.

For those who seek the perfect blend of tradition, innovation and craftsmanship, a La Cornue cooker offers a delightful culinary journey. It stands as a symbol of passion, refinement, and the enduring appeal of French artisanal excellence, making it an heirloom that will be cherished for generations to come.
