Larder & Vine Announces Collaboration with Celebrity Chef Joe Sasto to Launch Exclusive New Enameled Cast-Iron Cookware Line
Bringing professional performance to the home, the collection features Sasto’s own custom-designed creations in a striking shade of “Grappa” purple, elegant brushed gold accents, and incorporates the Top Chef alum’s iconic mustache and autograph on each piece
Larder & Vine, a premium heirloom cookware brand, announced its collaboration with celebrity chef Joe Sasto to co-design and launch an exclusive enameled cast iron cookware collection, which will be available on October 1st, 2025.
The Chef Joe Sasto Cookware Collection features three cookware staples in a distinctive purple hue known as Grappa, inspired by Italian wine and late-night culinary creativity. Combining chef-crafted performance with design, each piece showcases Sasto’s style and features brushed gold finishings, his iconic mustache engraved on each knob, and his signature on the bottom of each piece.
The launch coincides with Sasto’s highly anticipated upcoming cookbook, “Breaking the Rules: A Fresh Take on Italian Classics,” available October 21 and now on pre-order through Amazon. The cookbook represents Sasto’s bold approach to Italian-inspired cooking, and the recipes complement this custom-designed cookware collection perfectly. Both make great gifts for home chefs and help bring his recipes to life.
“I partnered with Larder & Vine because they understood my vision from the start - cookware that performs like a chef’s tool but feels approachable and fun in any kitchen,” says Chef Sasto. “Purple has always felt a little rebellious to me. We called it Grappa because, like the spirit, it’s bold, vibrant, and unapologetic — a color that makes you want to cook and celebrate. It was also my late Mom's favorite color and will always have a special place in my heart.”
The Larder & Vine x Chef Joe Sasto Collection Includes:
- Enameled Cast Iron Skillet with Lid: Versatile for frying, baking, and late-night culinary creations.
- Enameled Cast Iron Chef’s Pan with Tempered Glass Lid & Steam Vent: Designed for sautéing and simmering, with a vent to prevent boiling-over.
- Enameled Cast Iron Round Braiser with Lid: Ideal for browning and slow cooking, its lid is interchangeable with the Chef’s Pan for double the use.

- Moisture-locking lids ensure food remains tender and flavorful.

About Chef Joe Sasto
Celebrity chef Joe Sasto discovered his love for cooking and Italian classics as a child at his mother’s side. His passion for pasta deepened while working at Quince, a three-Michelin-star restaurant in San Francisco. In 2018, Sasto forged his own path with the dream of opening a restaurant. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020, he pivoted to teaching virtual pasta-making classes.
With more than half a billion likes and countless viral social media videos, Sasto has become a recurring judge and chef personality on multiple Food Network shows. He also has competed on “Guy Fieri’s Tournament of Champions,” “Guy’s Grocery Games” and “Chopped,” as well as Bravo’s “Top Chef” and “Top Chef All-Stars.”
In 2022, Sasto made the Food Network’s first “Hot List.” Beyond his career as a chef, he developed a high-end customizable pasta and pizza tool line. He also created Tantos, a puffed pasta chip, and Ripi, a gourmet frozen ravioli brand. His first cookbook, “Breaking the Rules” — a fresh take on Italian classics — will be published in October 2025 by Simon Element. He lives in Chicago with his wife, Kait, and their dog, Tito.
