Le Creuset has launched its Halloween collection (Image: Le Creuset)Halloween is just around the corner, and whether you’re throwing a big bash, hosting a cosy dinner, or simply want to embrace the spooky season solo, some themed homeware is a must. Le Creuset’s brand new Halloween collection is our top pick for setting the mood, with its array of seasonal-shaped dishes being the perfect addition to your Halloween hosting. Whether you’re after large pumpkin-shaped cookware that also serves as a serving dish, or some themed plates for snacks and treats, this collection has got you covered. Known as one of the ‘dream brands’ for millennials, Le Creuset’s range of cookware and tableware is a kitchen staple for keen cooks and bakers, and we’ve already got our eyes on several pieces for our autumnal hosting.

Although it’s available in six different colours, including a stormy grey and a very minimalist white and gold, it’s the iconic bright orange shade Volcanic that we’re lusting after. It boasts a generous 3.7 litre capacity, with a stem-shaped knob that’s easy to grip and a flat base that makes stirring and simmering a doddle. You can use it in the oven, hob, induction or under the grill, and it doubles up as a centrepiece-worthy serving dish that can go straight from the oven to your table for maximum impact.
The range includes pumpkin-shaped casserole dishes and serving plates

If you’re on the hunt for something a bit more subtle to add to your Halloween party spread, then the Stoneware Set of 4 Mini Halloween Dishes, £51, could be just what you need. This set includes four adorable mini dishes shaped like a pumpkin, a mummy, a black cat and a ghost – perfect for dips, sides and snacks. Crafted from scratch-resistant stoneware, these dishes are easy to clean and maintain, and can be used hot or cold. Each dish is thermoresistant from -23°C to +260°C, so they’re ideal for making frozen treats or baking mini spooky cakes and desserts. If you’re looking to spruce up your table settings, the Stoneware Medium Pumpkin Dish, £24, is a stunning addition. You can opt for the Volcanic bright orange shade, which adds a pop of autumnal colour to your table, or go for a minimalist all-white version that lets the pumpkin shape steal the show. Plus, there’s a host of other pieces in standard Le Creuset shapes and designs, but in a range of eerie colours like deep greens and smokey greys to amp up your Halloween decor. John Lewis is also embracing the Halloween spirit with its £6 Spider Web Stoneware Dish, a generous 22cm black dish adorned with spiderweb details. If you’re looking for something a bit more colourful, Next’s adorable Pumpkin Nibble Bowl with Lid is available for £10 in either orange or green – perfect for serving soup starters, snacks, dips or sweets, reports the Mirror.
