LC Originals

The LC collection of original recipes has been developed and created by David, the rest of his team, and several of the very talented LC testers. Our recipes are carefully crafted and tested in our kitchens to bring you the best results every time.

From David’s mouthwatering brined roast chicken to his famous chocolate chip cookies, we have something for every taste bud. We hope our recipes will inspire you to get creative in your own kitchen and make memorable meals for your loved ones.
