Chrissy Teigen is no stranger to influencing our culinary habits, thanks to her viral recipes that have made her brand, Cravings, a global name. However, recipes aside, Cravings is increasingly associated with statement cookware – most recently in the form of one of the most aesthetic braisers we've ever seen.
The Lowkey Lavender Brasier is certainly not lowkey – exhibiting an almost metallic lavender hue that just turned cast iron cookware into a chic kitchen accessory.
'Kids can run wild all they want – this beautiful lavender braiser is a secret zen weapon,' Chrissy says alongside footage from her family kitchen (designed by H&G favorite Jake Arnold, no less).
'If you’re looking for a one-pot wonder that can cook just about anything, cleans up easily, and looks so good you’ll want to leave it on your counter, the Lowkey Lavender Braiser is for you,' she says.
This versatile lavender brasier is the secret behind quick pasta dishes, soups, sauces and more. Alongside its statement color, we love that it's coated in nonstick enamel to make cooking (and cleaning up even easier).
There's no denying that lavender is among the most therapeutic of tones, as Chrissy reminds us above – but she's not exclusive in her appreciation for the hue. Trend forecasters Coloro and WGSN famously labeled Digital Lavender as their color of the year for 2023, meaning Chrissy's latest release is right on time – but why is lavender reigning supreme right now?
According to Coloro and WGSN, lavender, and many shades of purple, represent wellness and digital escapism – emphasizing the importance of 'recuperative rituals' that are a priority for many who want to protect their mental well-being.
'Digital Lavender will connect to this focus on wellbeing, offering a sense of stability and balance,' they say. 'Research suggests that colors with a shorter wavelength, such as Digital Lavender, evoke calmness and serenity.'
Naturally, paint and textiles are an impactful way to incorporate such tranquility into our homes, but it's also possible to do so with pockets of purple. This is where the Lavender Brasier comes into play.
With this cast iron grill pan, we can enjoy summer's smokey BBQ flavors any time of the year, without having to deal with an outdoor grill (or wait for sunshine).
This glazed 3-piece set of Moroccan hummus bowls is perfect for your next party spread, particularly the larger oblong plate that's big enough for sliced fruit and grilled flatbreads.
Naturally, our next stop is the Cravings recipe page to put our products to good use. It's what Chrissy would want, after all.
