i've had the same le creuset set that my grandmother bought in the sixties for the last ten years. sadly, now in storage in the states for a wee while.
my favourite one is the griddle that you've been learning to love, ascescence. they're fantastic and the enamel is mustard yellow (swoon).
i used to cook in dutch ovens a lot when i was younger, especially on long river trips. there's a gorgeous recipe for gingerbread (the old-fashioned kind) in the joy of cooking (the old-fashioned edition, you know, the one that tells you how to skin squirrels and shit) which comes out so perfectly in a dutch oven buried in the sand with coals.

chuck your copper bowl in the freezing river for half an hour, tied to a rock with string so it won't wash away, and you're good to whip up some double cream just in time for the gingerbread to be cool enough to eat. ah, bliss!
