Fancy a cookie with your cuppa? Whipping up a batch of delicious cookies really couldn’t be simpler with your stand mixer. Your Chef’s K-beater ensures all the dry and wet ingredients are evenly mixed to guarantee a wonderfully soft and chewy texture. These vegan double chocolate chip cookies are super quick and easy to make, so they’re perfect for baking with the kids or make a great gift. Have fun with different flavours by adding dried fruit, nuts, or chunks of different flavoured chocolate.

Because it involves working with very hot liquid sugar, making marshmallows requires some care and precision to get the right end result. This is where your Cooking Chef XL can really prove its worth. Our most technologically advanced mixer yet, the Cooking Chef XL’s induction heating technology allows you to change temperatures in 1°C increments, putting you in full control during even the most delicate tasks. You can even connect your mixer to the Kenwood World app for step-by-step recipe guidance and inspiration. These raspberry marshmallow squares taste every bit as good as they look.

We love a classic  vanilla cheesecake but are you looking to serve up something a little bit different? A twist on your standard lunch time fare, this savoury blue cheese and pumpkin cheesecake recipe is a great one to make while you’re getting to know your new machine, as it really shows off some of the innovative features that make baking so much easier. The K-beater’s iconic design reaches all areas of the bowl, ensuring your ingredients are evenly mixed every time, while the variable speed settings and patented in bowl illumination mean you stay in complete control as you prepare this delicious dish in just 15 minutes.

A reputation for being tricky to master puts a lot of people off attempting chocolate soufflés, but they are surprisingly simple to make using a stand mixer. Designed by professional chefs, our unique folding tool takes all the hard work out of whisking the light egg whites and cream with the heavier chocolate and flour mixture. Mimicking the act of folding by hand, it works in short bursts to keep as much air in as possible to create that perfect rise. Try this recipe for gorgeously light and fluffy soufflés that are guaranteed to impress.  

Brioche

This decadently buttery brioche is another bake that always looks impressive, but don’t let that dissuade you from giving it a go; the Titanium Chef Pâtissier XL more than rises to the challenge. Not only does this mixer allow you to weigh all your ingredients directly into the bowl as you go (goodbye, messy worktops), the intuitive SimpleTouch presets enable you to prove and knead the dough at just the touch of a button.
