What the heck's a Cassoule?

Last year we were approached by Paula Wolfert (she had used several of our pots in the past) to see if we could make a cassole similar to one she had bought in France years ago. She was updating her famous book "The Cooking of SW France" and needed a pot large enough to hold the whole cassoulet recipe (over 5 quarts) and shaped to properly bake this wonderful dish.

So here it is....about 13 inches across the rim, 2 handles and about 7 inches tall. It's a big pot!
And it just about matches Paula's original which is on the cover of the book. Which you can order through Amazon.
