[RECIPE IN SHOW NOTES] 

Are kitchen gadgets NECESSARY? NO! Really, a good kitchen doesn’t need much to make it great, which we go into in our book. Treat yourself to these things (like a good knife – which doesn’t have to be expensive! – pots and pans that do the job and a nice wooden spoon) and you’ll be fine.  

HOWEVER: Simon’s gone slightly gadget mad recently - he’s got himself a stand mixer (and is knocking out perfect pavs, American Angel food cakes and wood-fired pizza like some demented cross between Maggie Beer, Martha Stewart and the late, great Antonio Carluccio). 

Still looking for a recipe?? Fine - here’s one that uses a gadget and is insanely easy and delicious – stand-mixer whipped Greek Yoghurt. YUM! (Spoiler, you can also make this with a stick blender).

Serves 2–4 (depending on size, appetite and what you top it with) 

2 cups Greek Yoghurt  

100 ml whipping cream  

Honey, to taste  

In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment added, add Greek yoghurt, cream and honey to taste. Crank up the speed to max and whisk for 2–3 minutes until you have a light, fluffy pillowy cloud of yoghurty deliciousness. If you don’t have a stand mixer, throw the lot in a large bowl and use a stick blender or hand-held whisk instead. 

To serve, spoon into ramekins and add toppings of your choice. A few chopped strawberries and a scattering of nuts (or fancy granola) are nice... or if you’ve been getting into the wintery cooked fruit groove then try topping with poached rhubarb or quinces. Finish with a drizzle more honey.
