I'm with Auntie Noo, living vicariously through you all.

*Sigh* I so miss my (Mum's) Kenwood. We've even got rid of all the attachments which feels worse somehow, like we're never going to get another one Crying or Very sad

I got mine from my friend...it's not a really old 70s one...early 90's I think, but it's fab and I love it...I only have the K-beater, whisk and the dough hook...I really want a liquidiser and all the other bits you can get!!?! I'm intrigued by your sausages n! Smile

I'd love a 1950's Kenwood just for display! Smile

Does anyone have a good recipe for crumble mix??? I'm a bit hopeless with that in the Kenwood...I left it too long one and it turned into pastry! Laughing

What attachment do you use??! Smile

We are getting half a pig!!!
(apologies to the vegetarians).
It's an outdoor reared one.
So next weekend I will be making sausgages.
Would you like a how-to?

Has anyone ever made cured ham or bacon or salami? I fancy having a go at bacon too, and I'll need to buy the seasonings and stuff this week, so I'm all ready.

My Kenwood Chef is v v v old --- it was bought second hand some 30 years ago. I had lusted after it in a shop window, then much to my delight I received it as a mothers day present. I tried to age it once I think it must be well over 50 years old now. Its cream and grey. The original bowl broke and sadly I had to replace it with a modern one.
I use it to make cakes and bread, I don't have any attachments just the basic K beater; whisk and dough hook.
I love it and my daughter has asked me to leave it to her in my will!

Well. I've just bought a brand new Kenwood. Shocked

And it's lovely. And I'm in lurve with it. And all its little beaters. And the glamorous glass liquidiser.

Meringues anyone?!

Very Happy

Crumble mix

4 oz Butter or marg
8 oz flour (don't think it matters which kind)
Grated rind of an orange
Should be 3 oz of sugar but i do cut this down sometimes not using any
2 oz of hazelnuts

just put it in the mixer together and give it a quick pulse so it looks like breacrumbs. You can also add porridge oats, which i love.
Voila
