 Are there any other utensils that you can think back and
describe? Coming up after the war of course we
came into a whole different regime. One started off in the fifties with the
same sort of things that one's mother had had, but very soon afterwards of
course there came to be machinery brought into the kitchen. I mean in the same
way - the washing machine was a novelty and then a necessity, so the machines
to help with the work of cooking became very, very desirable. And one of the
first things I had was a Kenwood mixer, and I still
have it, and I've had it serviced 2 or 3 times, but basically it is still
exactly the same design as it was originally. It is still the best one of the
mixers; they brought out a lot of cheaper mixers but the Kenwood was such a
very good, well engineered design. It had the three beaters, the one for egg
whites the balloon one, and one for ordinary mixing and the one for bread
kneading, the hook for bread dough and that's really all you needed.
