I love to cook. Sweet or savoury—it doesn’t matter; cooking is creativity, fun and community. It makes me happy to do it, and happy to see people enjoying the food I cook. I don’t have a huge arsenal of recipes that I turn to: a few trusted and true standbys that I constantly tweak and alter as different ingredients are in season, or as my whims take hold. Some recipes I happily share, a few I keep to myself, little treasures I’ll pass on to my kids.
I’ll change up what I’m making but I am very resistant to changing what I use to cook with. I stick with the tools that work best. I know I am not alone. People are loyal to the tools they know will get the job done. KitchenAid mixers are one of those tools that many cooks, home cooks and professional cooks, wouldn’t be without in the kitchen. They are solid, dependable, tried and true kitchen companions.
KitchenAid just released their newest mixer which is sure to be another kitchen must-have for cooks. The Artisan Mini Mixer is powerful, like KitchenAid Mixers have always been, yet it’s 20% smaller than other mixers so it can more easily fit into kitchens of any size. It will take up less space on your counter, so you can comfortably leave it out, so it is ready to help you cook at any time. It also comes in 8 colours to match whatever kitchen décor you have.
Eager to try it out? Think of that favourite dessert recipe that you’ll be able to make more easily with this fantastic mixer. I know that like me you have some recipes that are closely guarded secrets. But you also probably have a few great ones that you like to share so everyone can enjoy. Tell us a dessert recipe you would like to make using the KitchenAid Artisan mini mixer and you may win one. Perhaps it’s a favourite you’ve been making for years. Perhaps it’s one of the many “Shelly’s Friday Favourites” recipes that we post on this blog each week. Share a great recipe for your chance to win.
