  • Gets so much use

    Ever since getting our stand mixer we use it all the time. We most recently made a cake with it and absolutely love how easy it is to use. Even my four year old is able to operate it. The stand mixer is also super easy to take apart and put back together. It’s also very easy to clean and to store.

  • Definitely a kitchen must have

    The last three and a half weeks I haven’t been able to do anything special with Lexi so today being a rainy day and Lexi absolutely needing and deserving some extra love we baked some brownies. I love how easy our Kenwood Baker is to use and it’s a great way to show Lexi how to use the scales when they’re built into the mixer. We just did a simple mix today but Lexi loved adding some extra smarties to them and we couldn’t wait to try one. ????

  • Making delicious focaccia, so easy & quick!

    Honestly, I never thought that I can be good at baking. Probably the reason why my attempts were not always successful before was not following the recipe. The built in scales make such a big difference for me, it is just too easy not to follow the recipe. Check out below the focaccia I made today. It turned out so delicious!
    Ingredients:
    * 500g white organic flour , plus extra for dusting
    * 7g dried fast action yeast
    * 2 tsp fine sea salt
    * 5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil , plus extra for the tin and to serve
    * 350-400ml likewarm water
    * 1 tsp flaky sea salt
    * 3-4 spoons dry rosemary if you don’t have fresh
    * 3-4 spoons dry thyme
    * 8 cheery tomatoes cut in half
    Method:
    Add all in the bowl starting with the flour, yeast, like warm water, olive oil, salt, dry thyme and rosemary. Use Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker XL with 5l bowl and Steel Dough Hook to mix all the ingredients. Use a spatula if any flour is left around the bowl. No hands needed, the Chef Baker does it all!
    Spray the baking tray with olive oil and spread the dough evenly. Added the cherry tomatoes and left in the oven for an hour to raise. Bake on 220 degrees Celsius for 35min. 25 min in, brush two spoons of extra virgin olive oil, water and salt. When ready leave the cool dough and it is ready to eat!
    The recipe was inspired by https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/focaccia/amp and tweaked to my taste. Enjoy!

  • Love the features and attachments

    I’ve been using my kenwood titanium chef Baker for a few weeks now. I have used different attachments and I am loving the kbeater works so well especially for cakes and butter cream. The highlight features and attachments are the inbuilt scales it’s an absolutely stand out feature so easy to use and so convenient. The splash guard is amazing no more splashes in my kitchen and love there’s a lid to add more ingredients while mixing. I’ve had so many compliments on how nice the stand mixer looks in my kitchen. I definitely recommend kenwood titanium chef Baker XL to everyone that is looking for buy or upgrade. Can’t wait to bake more with my mixer.

  • Choc cupcakes

    I was so excited to receive @kenwood_au Titanium Chef Baker XL Stand Mixer. As you all know by now how much I love baking especially desserts. Today I made chocolate & peanut butter cupcakes. My boys absolutely loved this combo. I have the recipe below.

    I am absolutely loving my stand mixer @kenwood_au You get everything you need in the box even an extra bowl. Extra bowl is the best, I used one for the cupcake batter & another for the buttercream. I can’t get over there’s an inbuilt scale which is so awesome. I can measure everything on my @kenwood_au Titanium Chef Baker XL stand mixer. That’s a stand out feature. The dial to adjust the speed is so smooth & the attachments are so easy place & remove. I am so impressed & would highly recommend it.

    Chocolate peanut butter cupcakes recipe:

    Cupcakes
    100g Plain Flour
    1/2 cup cocoa powder
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    2 large eggs, at room temperature
    1 cup caster sugar
    1/3 cup vegetable oil
    1/2 cup buttermilk
    A dash of vanilla essence

    Chocolate peanut butter buttercream
    4 1/2 cups icing sugar
    250g unsalted butter
    2 tablespoons of milk
    2 tablespoons peanut butter (smooth)
    1/4 cup cocoa powder (you can add more if you like)

    Toppings
    1/4 cup Choc chips (melted)
    1/4 crushed peanuts
    Mini Reece’s peanut butter cups

    Method
    Preheat oven 170c (fan forced)
    In a bowl mix all dry ingredients & set aside. Add eggs & sugar in the stand mixer bowl and mix on 5 speed (@kenwood_au Titanium Chef Baker XL stand mixer) until sugar is dissolved. Set on low speed, add oil and vanilla essence. Then add buttermilk. Slowly add dry ingredients & make sure you don’t over mix. Using an ice cream scoop pour mixture into cupcake tray with cupcake patties. (Makes 10) Bake for aprox 17-22 min depending on your oven.

    Buttercream add all the ingredients mix on speed 5/6 until combined.

    Once cupcakes are ready allow to cool, pipe buttercream, top with melted chocolate, crush peanuts & Reece’s peanut butter cups.
    Enjoy ????

  • First impressions - amazing!

    I’m so excited to be part of the team reviewing the Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker XL!

    My first impressions on receiving the box was the weight – it’s sturdy and deserves a spot on your bench!

    I love that it comes with two bowls – the smaller one sits inside the larger one so it’s easy to store. It also means there’s less need for washing up in the middle of a bake!

    There’s quite a few different attachments that come with it for different types of mixing, a spatula and splash guard. What I’m excited about is the built in scales – another time saver!

    I can’t wait to start baking!

  • Perfect for ANZAC Biscuits

    It arrived at the perfect time. I allowed my 4 year old to use it before anyone else and she loved she could make ANZAC Biscuits. Absolutely love how easy it is to use and the parts are really easy to clean too. It’s fantastic how you can select exactly what you want to help make baking a breeze. I love the added splash guard prevents things coming out of the bowl. I think the mixer definitely just helped us to make our best ever ANZAC Biscuits. The whole family gave them the tick of approval.

  • A must have for home bakers!

    It’s been a pleasure trying out the Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker XL. It comes with so many attachments (like the K Beater, second bowl and more!) that you have everything you need to really up your baking game.

    I love the built in scales – makes measuring faster – and the second bowl is so convenient to keep creating without having to stop and do some washing up.

    I did find the splash guard a little tricky to attach but otherwise everything else was very intuitive to use. And for all the style lovers, you can switch out the top cover to match your decor!

    Definitive recommend this if you’re looking to upgrade from a hand mixer.

  • Thumbs up from me!

    It has been an absolute pleasure reviewing Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker XL. Such an amazing appliance. I have tried all attachments, apart from the guard, as I just love to see how the magic is created. All attachments have been so handy for me.
    The built in scales is probably one of the next features for me, as well as how powerful the Chef Baker is. Weighing the ingredients straight in the bowl saves time, washing up and it is so easy!

    Love that you can buy additional 25 attachments and turn your Chef Baker into a pasta making machine or a blender! So clever!

    I really find baking a lot more enjoyable now , so definitely thumbs up from me :)

    The Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker XL is an amazing small appliance to have. The multitude of attachments it comes with means that you can bake so many different things.

    It was easy to make dough for bread and cake mixes. I did find the splash guard a bit fiddly to fit on (could just be I was doing it wrong). The built in scales are very handy. I’ll definitely be baking a lot more now I have it!

  • A wonderful way to expand your baking repertoire

    It’s been great trialling the Kenwood Chef Baker XL. I’ve always been daunted at the thought of baking bread and trying to knead dough. Using the dough spiral tool makes kneading dough a breeze.

    I used the Milk Bread recipe in the Kenwood website and was so happy with how they turned out. It’s so handy having the different attachments and I love the built in scale and timer which shows how long the mixing has been going for.

    A must have for every kitchen!

    1 x aluminium K-beater;
    1 x stainless steel whisk;
    1 x aluminium dough tool;
    1 x creaming beater.
    Have already two of the attachments to make banana donuts and waffles dough. Can’t wait to try the rest!

  • Best way to make buttercream icing!

    I make a lot of icing, so I knew the Kenwood Chef Baker XL mixer would come in extremely handy.

    Many times I need to make several batches for icing cakes, so the inclusion of 2 bowls with this mixer saves me from washing dishes to reuse the same bowl each time.

    The creaming beater (pictured in the photo), is so effective. It reaches all areas of the bowl, even the very bottom! So there are no bits of unbeaten butter or other ingredients that the may be missed by the beaters. I was so impressed with this beater!! My icing turned out perfect, with a beautiful smooth consistency.

  • Easyweigh scales saves me time!

    I used the Kenwood Baker XL to make this delicious Ginger Bundt Cake. My favourite feature has to be the easyweigh inbuilt scales. It saves so much time, as well as cutting down on extra dishes!

    I added each ingredient to the bowl, and this clever machine weighed it for me at the same time! I would recommend this mixer based on this feature alone!

  • Great for cakes!

    Being a first time stand mixer user, I decided to start with baking a basic sponge cake using the Kenwood Chef Baker XL that I’m trialling.

    I used the recipe from the Kenwood website which resulted in a deliciously light and fluffy sponge that wasn’t too dry. Cake mixes use the K beater tool which is nice and solid.

    I love that you can weigh ingredients into the bowl with the built in scale and much less mess than a traditional hand mixer. The integrated timer was handy as well to know how long it has been mixing for.

    Loving the mixer so far and can’t wait to test it out some more!

    So excited to receive my Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker XL Stand Mixer. I absolutely love baking and I can’t wait to make some cupcakes for my boys.

Included were 7L Stainless Steel Bowl, 5L Stainless Steel Bowl, Stainless Steel K-Beater, Stainless Steel Dough Hook, Creaming Beater, Stainless Steel Whisk, Splash Guard & Spatula. So convenient having two bowls especially when I make cupcakes one for the batter and another for the buttercream.

I can’t get over how amazing it is to have such a necessity item inbuilt into the stand mixer and it’s so convenient. Having a variety of attachments I can make all sorts of desserts, bread, pizza and so much more. I love that includes a splash guard too, no more mess in my kitchen. Such a beautiful design very simple and elegant that would suit every kitchen. I was reading a booklet that was in the box, that additional attachments can be purchased like a juicer, pasta maker, mincer and so on. This is absolutely amazing to have a all in one appliance.

  • My first baking session with the Kenwood Baker XL

    Ok, I am sold on this machine based purely off the inbuilt scales!!!! I decided to use the Kenwood recipe for the ‘celebration cake’, but turn it into cupcakes for Mother’s Day.
    I measured out all the ingredients straight into the bowl using the inbuilt scales, an absolute game changer!!! ????????

    Then as soon as I turned the machine on, the scale screen changed to to a clock and it then kept track of how long the machine had been mixing. Another great feature!

    Making these cupcakes and the icing were a breeze, plus they were delicious! Not only do I recommend this mixer, but also the recipe! ❤️

Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

Sandhurst

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Sandhurst

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

How To Put Together A Charcuterie Board 

Sandhurst article image

There are no right or wrong ways to create a charcuterie board, but to ensure a balance of textures and flavours try to include:

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.

    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)

      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.

  • The simplest way to entertain.

  • I love the looks of different finger foods. I don’t think it is hard to put something together and I had many afternoons hanging out with many mums and all the children at the Cul the sac we then lived. At times I had 8 mums coming with over 40 kids. Many sweet memories indeed

It is something i like to make whenever i have friends over as you can enjoy and pick away while you are catching up. Great entertaining option.

  • I absolutely adore an antipasto spread. There’s nothing better than having a colourful plate of charcuterie and antipasto shared with loved ones. I grew up with my Mum making the most lush, long table of nibblies on celebrations and it’s something that my siblings and I carry on today. It brings us all together.
