The size is perfect when I'm cooking for a group of 6 -8, which is always the case with me. Even when you're cooking for yourself, you'll cook at least 1/2 a kg of any dish and keep the leftovers- most curries taste better the next day !! One warning, Le Crueset is way too heavy, not a great cook and serve option either. For Indian curries, it doesn't brown onions well , it almost chars them and so you have to constantly stir. But its great for searing meat first and then making dishes like a roast, stews,and things like beef fry, pork chops... There are now several options available that work well like it but not necessarily so heavy that you may want to consider? Can mail you my PhD research paper on the subject if you're interested.<br />And yes, meeting up with friend in common was such an amazing story!!

It was a toss up between the yellow and Orange one but I guess I settled for this one. What is the size of your duch oven? I was thinking of buying something close to 8 qrts - I think le crueset has a 7 1/4 quarts. Should I go bigger/smaller?
