Dear customer,

Early in the twentieth century, Henri-Paul Pellaprat*, French Grand
Master Chef, wrote:

“True values and just principles

never diminish with age”

At the begining of this new millenium, and for the years to come, the
above phrase is, and shall remain, the guiding principle of our com­pany.
Authenticity without artifice and innovation in the respect of time­honoured traditions are the guiding forces behind each step in the
creation of each of our cookers.

Which is why every cooker we build has a soul.

With every recipe, the versatility and conviviality of your cooker will
become more and more apparent, along with the added touch of
warmth and atmosphere it lends to your home.

This booklet not only provides instructions for use, but also several
rules to follow which will facilitate the maintenance of your “La
Cornue”.

We thank you for your trust

.

Xavier Dupuy

Chairman and Managing Director

Bleu. Public training officer, Chevalier of the Agricultural Order of Merit.
