My father was so impressed by my cooking when we did family Christmas that he decided to buy me the Kitchenaid I have been saving for as a gift, so I can put that money towards other things, I'm so happy I just felt the need to gush about it amongst people who appreciate this sort of thing! I'm getting a Pistachio coloured Artisan one and I'll buy one of the new silicon scraper paddles with some of my saved cash. YAY YAY YAY

Yep lol! He went off today to look at Kenwood Chefs because that is what he bought about 10 years ago, for himself, and told me that the ones he saw were $1700, and I was like well the one I'm after is $995, then there was a sigh of relief down the phone

Excellent!I'd be doing a happy dance too, lol!I don't do enough baking to justify buying one, but I use my newish kenwood processor regularly, and I still get excited when I do!

Thats the colour I think I have decided one, it's called "ice" I have the chrome blender which we use pretty much every day.

I'm not too hopeful, but my company is negotiating a discount for one on my behalf (I'm the cook at a rest home and we have a lot of suppliers that discount for us) but I'll probably buy it from the local Total Food Equipmentif that falls through, they're my go-to people for equipment and uniform and stuff when I want non-commercial things.

You can order them from overseas, I'm going to do so for my partner. Makes them around $400 rather than the horrendous $1000-ish they charge here in nz. You just need to get a voltage converter from jaycar or similar store in order to use them using our different voltage.
