About Sur La Table

Sur La Table — French for "on the table" — was founded in 1972 by Shirley Collins inside a 1,200 sq. ft. shop at Seattle's Pike Place Market. From day one the store was an importer first: French copper pots, German knives, Italian pasta tools, things American kitchens hadn't seen before. Fifty years later Sur La Table runs more than 60 brick-and-mortar locations across the United States, hosts the country's largest network of in-store cooking classes (over 1,000 classes a month), and curates a catalog that reads like a working chef's wishlist.

What You'll Find in the Catalog

The lookbook centers on the four pillars of a serious home kitchen: cookware (Le Creuset enameled cast iron, Staub heritage pieces, All-Clad multi-clad stainless, Hestan, Scanpan), bakeware (Sur La Table Platinum Pro sheet pans, Le Creuset bread ovens, Nordic Ware bundt pans, Mason Cash mixing bowls, King Arthur sourdough crocks), espresso & coffee (Breville Oracle Jet, Moccamaster, Lelit, Nespresso Vertuo, Baratza grinders), and cutlery & prep (Zwilling J.A. Henckels, Global, Miyabi, Wüsthof, OXO). Many pieces are exclusive collaborations available nowhere else.

Materials and Craftsmanship

Sur La Table's buyers travel directly to factories in France, Germany, Japan, Italy, and Spain. Le Creuset Dutch ovens are still sand-cast and hand-finished in the Fresnoy-le-Grand foundry. Staub stoneware is made in Alsace. Mason Cash mixing bowls have been pressed in the same Derbyshire pottery since 1901. Sur La Table's own-brand bakeware — Platinum Pro, Sapphire Elite, Signature — is engineered with commercial-grade aluminized steel for warp-resistant, even-baking performance home bakers can lean on for a decade.

Seasonal Cycle

The catalog refreshes around the cooking calendar — sheet-pan suppers and sourdough in early spring, grilling in summer, baking and Dutch ovens in fall, gift-ready cookware and espresso machines for the holidays. Cooking Class promotions are folded into each season's edition (every Sur La Table store hosts hands-on classes — pasta, knife skills, croissants, regional cuisine series).

Why Sur La Table

For fifty years Sur La Table has been the buying lens between European cookware ateliers and the American home kitchen. The catalog reflects that point of view — curated, not exhaustive; collaborative, not categorical. If you cook every day and want the cookware that lasts a generation, this is the catalog to bookmark.
