People often ask me, Why did I invest in a Lacanche? And for me, the answer is simple: I wanted something that wasn’t just an appliance, but an experience. A piece that would shape the way I cook, gather, and create memories in my home.
Cooking has always been an artful ritual for me—one of slowing down, layering flavors, and bringing people together. I needed a range that could support that intention. The craftsmanship of a Lacanche is unmatched—the precision, the control, the way it turns the act of making a meal into something intuitive and elevated. And beyond its beauty, it’s built for everyday life. The insulated doors stay cool to the touch, the automatic gas shut-off brings peace of mind, and best of all, the enamel interior requires no harsh chemicals to clean—just warm water and a soft cloth. Safe, timeless, and made to last.
I chose the Cluny Classique because it perfectly balances form and function. The double ovens allow for flexibility in cooking—roasting on one side while keeping a dish warm in the other. And the Classique top? It’s all about versatility. The 18,000 BTU burner gives me high heat for searing, while the portable simmer plate lets me slow-cook sauces without worry. It’s the kind of investment that pays off every single day.
Yes, there are other things you can invest in—handbags, shoes, art. But this? This is where stories unfold, where flavors develop, where life happens. And to me, that’s the best investment of all.
