A man's destination is his own village,
His own cooking fire, and his wife's cooking;
To sit in front of his own door at sunset
And see his grandson, and his neighbor's grandson
Playing in the dust together.
TS Elliot (1888-1965), "To the Indians Who Died in Africa"
Gathering around the community table
Food and fire have historically proven powerful catalysts for bringing people together. Home and hearth evoke feelings of safety, warmth and comfort. In the 21st century, we're still gathering - if not around an actual fire - certainly via cookstove or even virtual chats, such as our online community forum.
We’re genuinely thrilled our customers care enough to share their thoughts and photos with us. One of the most rewarding aspects of our business is getting to know our customers as friends. We welcome you to celebrate the truly good things in life: like family, friendships, community... and, of course, fresh, seasonal and savory food.
Feel free to join the social networking revolution via our Lacanche Fan Club on Facebook. Share your food photos and cusine ideas with other Lacanche enthusiasts from all over the world. To get started, click on the logo, below.

— Chelly and Dick Longoria, Omaha, NE

— Walter Rokoski, Atlanta, GA

“I had a great dinner last night – using the wonderful Lacanche stovetop. I love using the cast iron flat-top.”
— Mark Baumann, Port Ludlow, WA

“The thing I like so much about the Sully is that we now have seven burners and two ovens, and even with all that cooking power the Sully doesn't overwhelm the space…. As for the capabilities, the minute I put a copper pan to the burner, I knew this was the only way I wanted to cook.”
— Jim & Amy Matis, Baltimore, MD
(Sully owners since 2003)
“I want to say first that we love our stove and our friends all go ga-ga over it.”

“I love my new range. The Cormatin's elegant looks would be equally at home in a modern kitchen or in a period kitchen such as mine.”
— Raymond Sunderman, Toledo, OH
(Cormatin owner since 2004)
“[Our Cluny] is the best constructed range that we had ever encountered. If Lacanche made refrigerators, dishwashers, disposals, washers and dryers, I'd buy them up. Buying a major appliance sight-unseen was doable only because [Art Culinaire was] always available to answer our questions and offer assurance. We appreciate [the team's] professionalism and great sense of humor.”
— Rosemary & Jim, Latrobe, PA
(Cluny owners since 2002)
“I am thrilled with my Lacanche and would love to recommend it to anyone. In addition to the ease of use, everyone comments on the look of my Cormatin – it looks elegant and sophisticated, yet low-tech and functional. I simply love it.”
— Jennifer & Yann Morvan, Hamden, CT
(Jennifer is an interior designer. The Morvans have been Cormatin owners since 2002.)
