we have a rather special visitor in our house…
this rather old but stable lady has come to live our way for a while and inject a bit of history into my kitchen and my cooking. This is the kenwood chef that my mum used. She tells me it is at least 30 years old. It still works. Shudders to life and takes a few seconds to get going. Stretching its limbs and shaking out the aches. This machine has memories for me, I remember where it sat in my parent’s kitchen, i remember my mum using it to mix up cakes and peel potatoes (yes really!). More importantly i remember licking out the bowl, that true indulgence of childhood…and okay adulthood too!!
Im hoping that it feels at home here, that my children will remember it will the same fondness and I have little if any doubt that maybe in some 20 years time ill be passing it on to my girls….
Glad to see you got your Kenwood at last! And the original one is even better than a new one.
