| |  Kenwood/Delonghi stand mixer attachments
Hi all. Recently posted this question on another site, to resounding silence  Trying my luck here 
I'm a long-time user of Kenwood Chef stand mixers (branded as Delonghi in the USA). I've decided to upgrade to a new model (1000W, 4.4L). At the same time, my faithful Braun food processor is beginning to show its age, so I'm wondering
(1) whether the various food-processor attachments for the Kenwood are any good, and
(2) whether their are stars or duds amongst the numerous other attachments available for this machine?
I'm aware that the grain-mill seems to be popular with some bakers, but there are also attachments like a food processor, shredder, chopper, sausage maker, icecream maker, mouli... |

Kenwood! Isn't that the Sears brand name? I thought DeLonghi was an Italian company. I could swear I saw their logo on a factory last year somewhere in Italy. Maybe my mind is playing tricks.
Sorry Lamington, I don't have an answer for your question.

Maybe my mind is playing tricks | I think you're a bit confused, Jock.  Do a search on the forum and you'll find more about the Kenwood/Delonghi/other brand. (Kenwood is the original name of the UK company.) |

Jock, I think you mean "Kenmore"; that's the Sears brand.

Lamington,
My biggest concern with a combined unit is that I use both simultaneously A LOT.
That being said, you might also go to King Arthur Flour's forum, http:\\bakingcircle.com (you'll need to register) and then select "Q/A: Kitchens and Equipment" and type kenwood in the search box and press go. They have had several discussions on Kenwood/Delonghi. |

| | Kenwood Mixer attachments
I have two attachments for my Kenwood mixer-the grain mill and the pasta maker. I am very pleased with the grain mill. I have no complaints with it. The pasta maker-well, I've not been very successful with making pasta, but that doesn't mean the attachment is the problem-in this case I think it is the cook.

TEXASFLUTE:
Do you happen to have the original recipe booklet (RECIPE BOOKLET and not the instruction manual) that accompanies your Kenwood mixer? I really need a copy of it to replace my lost one and am willing to pay an appropriate price for a photocopy. You can PM me at tkokosenski@bellsouth.net.
TIA

Did you try calling Kenwood? They may send you one for free. KitchenAid did so for me.
Or did you try looking at the manufacturer website? They have a lengthy database of manuals you can download for free in pdf form: http://www.kenwoodworld.com/customer...p?category=144 |

| | Kenwood - DeLonghi
Mudbug, thanks for the Kenwood website. My old one has a broken speed knob. Now I may be able to find a replacement.
I bought a nice DeLonghi but don't want to retire the old one.
DeLonghi is an Italian company who bought Kenwood which is a British company.

MUDBUG:
I've visited the website you indicated. It lists only INSTRUCTION MANUALS. Included with my mixer were both an instruction manual and also a recipe booklet. The latter is what I seek. |

KOKOPUFFS:
I just found my old Kenwood recipe booklet! Cheese twist puffs, corn muffins, brioches...
I can make a photocopy and send it to you.

Norma! GREAT! And thanks so much for your time.
Let me ensure that we're talking about the same booklet. The one I lost was paperbound and not hardbound. It's the booklet that includes a recipe for, I think, ONION DIP made with Philadelphia Cream Cheese and Sour Cream.
Does your booklet include that recipe?
Please don't think I'm ungrateful by asking all of these questions - I just don't want anyone to be put through undue effort.
Also is there a publication date anywhere on the booklet? Is it by chance entitled THE MIXER BOOK?
