Are kitchen gadgets NECESSARY?
from 5 Minute Food Fix
[RECIPE IN SHOW NOTES] Are kitchen gadgets NECESSARY? NO! Really, a good kitchen doesn’t need much to make it great, which we go into in our book. Treat yourself to these things (like a good knife – which doesn’t have to be expensive! – pots and pans that do the job and a nice wooden spoon) and you’ll be fine. HOWEVER: Simon’s gone slightly gadget mad recently - he’s got himself a stand mixer (and is knocking out perfect pavs, American Angel food cakes and wood-fired pizza like some demented cross between Maggie Beer, Martha Stewart and the late, great Antonio Carluccio). Still looking for a recipe?? Fine - here’s one that uses a gadget and is insanely easy and delicious – stand-mixer whipped Greek Yoghurt. YUM! (Spoiler, you can also make this with a stick blender). Want more food tips? Check out the 5 Minute Food Fix Instagram. Serves 2–4 (depending on size, appetite and what you top it with) 2 cups Greek Yoghurt 100 ml whipping cream Honey, to taste In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment added, add Greek yoghurt, cream and honey to taste. Crank up the speed to max and whisk for 2–3 minutes until you have a light, fluffy pillowy cloud of yoghurty deliciousness. If you don’t have a stand mixer, throw the lot in a large bowl and use a stick blender or hand-held whisk instead. To serve, spoon into ramekins and add toppings of your choice. A few chopped strawberries and a scattering of nuts (or fancy granola) are nice... or if you’ve been getting into the wintery cooked fruit groove then try topping with poached rhubarb or quinces. Finish with a drizzle more honey. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
