Meat Ragu Recipe From Le Creuset

This month I had the opportunity to attend a Beauty and the Beast event at the Williams Sonoma in Beverly Hills that included some recipe demos, flower making and more. The chef’s at Williams Sonoma created a few Beauty and the Beast inspired dishes that we got to try that included Meat Ragu, Cheese Souffle and Squash Soup du Jour. Below I am sharing a quick video of the cooking demo as well as the delicious Meat Ragu Recipe you will want to try.

During the Beauty and the Beast event at Williams Sonoma, the Meat Ragu was made in their new Limited Edition Beauty and the Beast Dutch Oven from Le Creuset that is ideal for use on any cooktop, including induction.

Created in honor of Disney’s live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast, this vibrant blue-enameled chef’s oven by Le Creuset casts an enchanting spell over the kitchen. Featuring an iconic red rose design and a golden knob engraved with “Be Our Guest,” this special-edition piece is available in limited quantities.

If you love to cook  I would recommend looking to see what classes and events are going on your local Williams Sonoma. Each of the William Sonoma locations offers it’s own culinary events and classes that are really fun!
