When I attended the KitchenAid Mini Moment Garden Party previously, I was impressed with KitchenAid latest Stand Mixer. The Mini Stand Mixer is small but yet powerful. This Mini Mixer has a tagline of 25% lighter, 20% smaller and yet as powerful as the Artisan version. If you have read my previous post on KitchenAid Mixer, you know it now comes in 3 sizes, after the KitchenAid Mini was introduced; together with the KitchenAid Commercial and KitchenAid Artisan
This round we have our sleeves rolled up with some really fun hands-on session at Palate Sensations located within grounds of Biopolis using the Mini Mixer to whip up a delicious meal.
Our hands-on session was on making home-made pasta using the KitchenAid Mini to knead the dough and next use the Stand Mixer Attachment, Pasta Cutter and Roller set to roll the dough and finally cut them to Spaghetti.
We ground our own Chicken Meat for the Meatballs as part of the Pasta dish. Using another Stand Mixer Attachment, the Rotor Slicer/Shredder to shred the chicken thigh with ease.
A pity due to time constraints, we didn’t make our own Cheese Tart, instead Chef Michele offered a demo. Using the KitchenAid Mini to mix all the ingredients. Finally when the mixture is ready and chilled, pipe them onto the commercial tart.
Here is the recipe for the Chicken Meatballs Pasta.
