![]() ![]() In fact I was so at ease with the KitchenAid that I allowed my 12 yr old daughter to make pizza dough in it the following day under supervision. The instructions for bread making informed me not to go above setting 2 when kneading and to use setting 1 for mixing the dry ingredients together. The KitchenAid is easy to operate with a sliding lever mechanism which you just depress slightly. I do remember an afternoon making cakes with my daughter once and on adding the cocoa powder and icing sugar to our mixture the whole room was filled with clouds dust! Hence the guard is going to be very useful in avoiding such situations! My last stand mixer used to scare me a little as the bowl was so very wide at the top that I almost felt drawn in, not so with this one though as the bowl is narrower at the top and nice and deep plus there’s a lovely plastic bowl guard with pouring vent which also stops flour from filling your room. So as well as it’s devilishly good looks that wouldn’t look out of place in an art gallery the KitchenAid seems extremely robust and engineered to last. My mum has the same model in a silver grey colour which she treated herself to a few years ago and it goes perfectly with her kitchen (that’s the beauty of these machines they seem to come in every colour you can imagine)! The KitchenAid on the other hand has a smaller footprint and after a little re-organisation of my worktops I made room for it as this stand mixer was made to show off. I have to say I am blown away by the beauty of the KitchenAid as my old stand mixer was a tad ugly and cumbersome so stayed in a cupboard in the garage and rarely ventured out. I immediately knew I wanted to make, some bread, so having a look around my kitchen I came up with this Olive and Parmesan Cob Loaf. It’s not every day that you get offered to play with your dream piece of equipment but that’s exactly what happened recently when the lovely people at Kitchen Aid gifted me a beautiful Artisan Stand Mixer in Empire Red. The perfect accompaniment to soup or Italian food. Olive and Parmesan Cob Loaf is a delicious crusty loaf dusted with semolina. ![]()
