two christmases ago my mum’s present was the money to buy a nice casserole dish, but the one i chose at john lewis was sold out by the time i went in to get it, and then never in stock — anyway i found it in habitat a month or so back, and just picked it up today and cooked with it and it is AWESOME COOL (and more to the point hot): viz matt black, semi-porous, made in la chamba in colombia to a model many centuries old, with lid on keeps food hot enough to eat for an hour, and is one up in size from the picture — so tonight’s permutational summer bake feast is an actual old-skool CASSEROLE hurrah
