Baking has never been quite as innovative and easy as now with the latest kitchen gadgets out there. One of my absolute favourite and must-have appliances for any budding baker is definitely the KitchenAid Stand Mixer.
Not only does it make for an eye-catching addition to any modern kitchen, the KitchenAid Stand Mixer comes in 25 yummy, funky colours, has 10 speeds, and 12 clever and easy-to-use accessories to make anything from cake batter, ice cream to your own pasta dough.
Along with all the fun accessories, there are multiple beaters available for the KitchenAid Stand Mixer that allow you to mix, knead, whisk and whip to your heart’s content. You can also choose from a variety of bowls in either stainless steel or clear, frosted or hammered glass to match your Mixer and personal style.
The KitchenAid Stand Mixer retails for anything between R7,999.00 and R10,999.00, but with so many versatile functions, purchasing one is well worth it!
Already enjoying your KitchenAid Stand Mixer? I’ve found some delicious recipes online that you can try out with your appliance…
Who doesn’t love waffles right? All the better if it stacked into a delicious, creamy cake! Try this mouth-watering recipe by Lindsay Landis (Love and Olive Oil) made from ladyfinger batter, mascarpone cheese, brewed espresso and chocolate. The KitchenAid® Waffle Baker can also come in handy here, but otherwise any other waffle maker along with your Stand Mixer will do the trick.
A great feature of the KitchenAid Stand Mixer is that you can use it to make your own pasta. Fettuccine, tagliatelle, macaroni, lasagne, ravioli… With the right accessory, it is easy to make perfect pasta! The KitchenAid Stand Mixer attachments and accessories include a Pasta Roller to knead and flatten dough, a Cutter Set to cut strips and noodles, and a Pasta Drying Rack.

What is better than the smell of freshly baked cookies? Now infuse that with the aromatic flavour of Lavender… Have a go at this lovely recipe with your Stand Mixer, and blend your sugar and lavender with the KitchenAid Food Processor fitted with the blade attachment.
