Bodum stand mixer four colours

Bodum BISTRO stand mixer specs:

  • 700-watt, 7 speed mixer with tilt-up head
  • Stainless steel mixing bowl holds 4.7l
  • Includes dough hook, beater and whisk
  • Measures 234 x 397 x 343 mm.

Competition closes at midnight on Wednesday 5 June 2012. Winner will be notified by email. Open to Australian residents only.

Get to know me! I haven't done one of these in YE Get to know me!

I haven't done one of these in YEARS so there's possibly thousands of you who don't know my back story. Here's a few things you may not know about me!

โœ”๏ธ I'm English ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ and I moved here (just for one year) back in 2008๐Ÿ˜† 

โœ”๏ธ I can't end the day without a bath, even if I get home really late or on a really hot day. It's a mental health thing and my happy place. ๐Ÿ› 

โœ”๏ธ Before becoming a blogger and running my own small business, I was a journalist from the age of 18. My favourite news gathering times were as a newspaper crime reporter (bit different to interiors!) ๐Ÿ““ 

โœ”๏ธ I once worked at New Scotland Yard in London ๐Ÿš” 

โœ”๏ธI had an interview at Oxford (didn't get in!) but chose not to go to uni at all after being offered a job on the local paper #universityoflife ๐Ÿ˜

โœ”๏ธ My mum died when I was 3, I have an excellent dad and one sister (younger) in the UK โค๏ธ ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง 

โœ”๏ธ At school, my favourite subject was French ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท and I was head girl ๐Ÿค“๐Ÿค“

โœ”๏ธ I'm addicted to โ˜•๏ธ , long hot baths and๐Ÿ’„ (been wearing it since I was about 14!)

โœ”๏ธ I'm not a phonecall person and will never ever pick up an unknown number. Ever. They can leave a message ๐Ÿ˜

โœ”๏ธ My favourite cuisine is Japanese ๐Ÿฃ ๐Ÿœ and Damian and I honeymooned in Tokyo and Venice 

โœ”๏ธ I have zero design qualifications. I just started blogging about my passion, which is trying to persuade everyone to #heartyourhome That was 11 years ago...

โœ”๏ธ My favourite tipple is a good GnT or๐Ÿท 

โœ”๏ธ Cheesy as it sounds, ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธbeing a mum is my absolute biggest joy in life ๐Ÿง’๐Ÿ‘ฆ

โœ”๏ธ I will never give up my old school paper diary! Has to be A5 and week to view ๐Ÿ“– 

โœ”๏ธ My official surname isn't Bishop. I kept my maiden name for work after I got married but changed it for everything else. Often confuse myself!

The things that excite me as a 40 year old ๐Ÿคญ N The things that excite me as a 40 year old ๐Ÿคญ

None of us enjoy laundry (OK, there are a few of you out there who do. Weird!) but we have to do it. And often. So if your laundry bin can be as good looking, functional and space saving as this, then why wouldn't you?!

I've lost track of how many baskets I've thrown out because they've gone soggy or mouldy. They look pretty, sure, but they're not fit for purpose and they're often messy and overflowing.

Here's what I love about his @brabantia_australia one:

โœ”๏ธ ventilation holes
โœ”๏ธ no need to remove the lid for small items plus it hides your dirty laundry from view
โœ”๏ธ easily removable and washable inner laundry bag that velcros back on 
โœ”๏ธ corrosion resistant so fine in bathroom or laundry 
โœ”๏ธ Brabantia make things as sustainably as possible
โœ”๏ธ compact, sleek, European design
โœ”๏ธ 10 year warranty
โœ”๏ธ tall and skinny so takes up less floor in my tiny laundry

The Rolls Royce of laundry bins? I think so ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป

TOLD you this was going to be exciting!

Now I need to know, do you have your laundry basket in the bathroom, the laundry, every bedroom? We used to have one in each bedroom but moved to the laundry-only situation which I much prefer (one for colours and one for whites). My boys know to put their used clothes in the bin in the laundry each night and they're 7 and 3!  #raisingfuturehusbands

"Living rooms are important spaces where our publi "Living rooms are important spaces where our public and private lives intersect."

So says stylist @nataliewalton in her gorgeous new book Style, the Art of Creating a Beautiful Home.

"They are where we gather to welcome guests and entertain. But they are also where we decompress and relax at the end of the day. Increasingly, they are open-plan spaces and need to work within a greater scheme. Bringing all the elements together cohesively requires care and consideration. And, if you want a space that lives up to its true potential, make it personal and create with conviction."

    Fab idea Jen, loving your new blog (although my bank card may not!!!). I would love a gorgeous white mix master for my wannabe provincial style kitchen.

    I love baking and went crazy for my daughter’s first birthday (made madeleines, several flans, canelรฉs, meringues and cupcakes. It took a full week of prep!). I only own a hand-held mixer, so this ultra good-looking BODUM stand mixer would just be amazing. If I won it, my first cake would be Nigella’s chocolate cloud cake (with Cointreau of course).

    i would make my white chocolate and caramel rasperry cake!
    i made this cake by absolute accident when i put big chunks of white chocolate through a raspberry butter cake i love to make. some of the chocolate pieces sunk to the bottom of the tin and the cake came out with a delicious, sticky, caramel layer on the base.

    now everyone in the family requests this cake on their birthdays and i always personalise the icing to whoever is receiving it ๐Ÿ™‚

    my latest creation was a golf theme for my father in law with green ganache grass icing and a white chocolate and coconut sand bunker – complete with a flag in the hole and silver cashou golf balls!

    Great new site, congrats. How about a blog on the “Special T” machine from Nestle (& a petition to launch here!)…it broke my heart a little to leave mine behind when I moved back to Sydney from Switzerland but not practical trying to source pods. The first use for a fab Bodum stand mixer would be meringues – in desperation I have been known to whip egg whites in a salad dressing shaker – true story (it works, eventually).

    Having one of these Bodum BISTRO stand mixers would open up a new world of baking heaven to me – I’m thinking some kind of chocolate tart – maybe even a chocolate pastry could be whizzed up with ease and I’d love to explore breadmaking too. As an enthusiastic home cook and lover of baked treats, maybe having this kind of mixer is all that stands between me and being a baking goddess! Just posting this is making me hungry!

    I would use it to make the family fav, Old Fashion Chocolate Cake made with sour cream. So yum. It’s a Nigella recipe that I have tweaked a little so it hasn’t got so much fat but is just as yummy.

    If I won the mixer, I wouldn’t know what recipe to start with – there’s just too many to count! I would probably use the mixer to make some fresh challah bread dough so that I can pop it into the oven and bake it for my sunday morning breakfast (perfect for french toast). More importantly, I would make Brown-Eyed Baker’s classic brownies recipe (because I attempted it last night and it failed horribly – I account it to lack of a real mixer), and then once baked (and cooled), I would seal it up tight and mail some over to you, Jen, as a thank you for picking me ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Desperate 52 year old seeking solid stand mixer for on-going relationship. Must be able to mix batters and cake mix, Having never had a solid stand mixer I am not sure what to expect from this relationship, but am looking forward to embarking on a baking frenzy with the right mixer. First recipe off the blocks would be my mother’s chocolate hazelnut torte. Made with “noisette” jam this brings back memories of teenage birthday parties in the 70s.

    Sunday night is Pizza night, and that means getting out the dough hook. Of late I’ve been varying the recipe: 20% semolina and 80% flour means a much crisper base without using a pizza stone, but can also make the dough inelastic. That’s a problem when doing calzones, which I do for school lunches from the same batch of dough I suspect our current mixer being a bit old isn’t helping. Enter a nice new red Bodum. *Crosses fingers*

    I love making lovely little meringues but my arm gets so sore holding the beaters!! I would love a Bodum stand mixter to relive my poor arm! Once the meringues are in the oven cooking I like to mix up a fresh berry coulis to go on top. Not to mention whipping the cream which would also be taken care of with the Bodum. I have one red wall in my kitchen and LOVE collecting red applicances to go in there too. Thanks for the new site- I am in love!

    I would make a chocolate and beetroot cake. It sounds like an odd combination but the beetroot makes the chocolate cake so moist and gives it a lovely maroon colour (kind of like a red velvet cake) Topped with a fresh cream / cream cheese icing… it is just divine!

    Plain & simple, all though I must admit its not an interesting or creative recipe. I have had unimaginable cravings for crepes all day, somehow I can’t get the thought of thin yummy batter gently frying in pan out of my head, I would deffinately whip up the batter in a new Bodum mixer,…if I had one. Topped with a dash of lemon and a sprinkle of sugar, My craving would be at peace. Best of luck everyone!

    My friend Kerry has a red mixer which I covet since the night she made fabulous pizza dough that rose right over the top of the bowl. The pizza base was the best any of us had ever tasted. I used the same recipe but did it the traditional was, kneeding the dough by hand on the bench. Still a great recipe but the dough was just missing that little bit extra from having been done in that awesome red mixer. I now covet the green one for my kitchen addition ;o)

    My Oma (Grandmother)’s Pletskeskoek. I am originally from The Netherlands and moved here 7 years ago. Last year my Oma passed away unexpectedly, just 4 months before we were due to go there. She always made us Pletseskoek which is a traditional cake from the area she grew up in.

    I would love a Bodum stand mixer, There is heaps of recipes l would love to try with it as my hand held mixer and l don’t have a great reputation. But l would definitely use it to make my banana bread. There is nothing fancy about the banana bread, and it uses the usual ingredients of flour, sugar, cinnamon, milk, eggs, butter and of course bananas. But it is easy and the kids love it so it is the best lunch box filler.

    I would use the mixer to make my Grandma’s pavlova recipe, it’s been a family favourite since I can remember and I’m pretty sure I could eat it every day.

    Ethereal to the tongue, bright and pleasing to the eye, the dainty Parisian pastries known as macarons are tiny bites of luxury. Dissolving in the mouth, they give way to fillings of beguiling and delicious variety: ganache, butter-cream or citrus- and whiskey-soaked concoctions dancing with complexity.

    My favourite recipe that would use this stand mixer would be an apple teacake. I would cream the butter and sugar with the stand mixer while cooking the apples with butter.

    I would make my favourite eggless tiramisu! My current mixer is an ancient Kenwood which I inherited from my husband’s grandmother – it sounds like a 747 taking off in the kitchen when its running and it is starting to give off a funny burning smell when I use it. I think it’s days are numbered!!! It’s so loud it drowns out the TV in another room. My kids love what it makes but hate when I use it.

    I love baking with my kids, it’s crazy and messy but they love it so I would use the Bodum mixer to bake patty cakes in every flavour and colour you could imagine, but especially vanilla choc chip. After the kids are tucked away in bed, I would use it to bake Raspberry and Macadamia Blondies, which are to die for and everyone asks for the recipe when I make it. And mud cakes for all the birthdays. And much more ๐Ÿ™‚

    I would try to make a pavlova. My family is cursed – we cannot whip egg whites! But with a Bodum Stand Mixer, I would be emboldened to break this voodoo, and whip egg whites til they’re white and fluffy, then the cream to go on top. And if it worked, I would move onto all the meringue-y goodness my family is barred from (unless we buy it). (Which isn’t the same).

    With golden meringue on top, these soft lemon puddings will make everyone smile. The only way to get the meringue soft, fluffy & glossy is to whip it in one of the Bodum BISTRO stand mixers ( I would have the fresh lime green colour to liven up my kitchen).

A perfect dessert (or ok, maybe sometimes i just have it for dinner and dont wait for dessert) my sticky date pudding is usually drenched with my homemade thick caramel sauce and served with a scoop (or maybe 3) of vanilla icecream – one of my favourite ways to spend a cold winter evening of which there seem to be many lately!!
