Happy Eats!

In addition to being a menu consultant and food enthusiast, for more than 25 years I was a purchaser for a housewares store. Throughout the years I met with sales reps from just about all the major cookware, kitchen electronics, and gadget manufacturers worldwide. I tested just about every tool on the market. I also watched many makers of kitchenware get bought up or bought out - and to be honest, I wasn’t heartbroken when some of them disappeared!

But if there’s one company I hope will go on forever - a company whose products I admire, respect, and USE on a daily basis - it’s Kitchen Aid. Whle the company is best known for its signature stand mixer, the standard against which all other brands are measured, not all of us need that level of mixing power! A hand mixer works for most recipes, but don’t settle for a cheap, wimpy little gadget that can barely handle boxed cake mix. A wimpy mixer will make you very, very unhappy. On the other hand, a good handheld mixer will be a joy to use - and it will LAST.

Plus if you want to get real volume when whipping and beating, or if you’re going to make something like my special low-carb lemon souffle, you need a REAL hand mixer. Like my favorite Kitchen Aid handheld. It’s got five speeds and it’s a workhorse. You can even knead bread with it, no joke! Here’s where you can find it at a really good price:
