Lockdown had us all looking for new things to try out in the kitchen, with making pasta from scratch topping many people’s lists. If you’re thinking of expanding your Italian culinary repertoire, KitchenAid has all the right gadgets to get you started.
During the last 18 months and 3 lockdowns, cooking and baking became our refuge from the realities of coronavirus. Millions of amateur chefs across the country started experimenting with recipes they’d never tried before, from sourdough to banana bread. With basic food items unavailable due to panic buying, many of us experimented with making staples such as pasta from scratch for the first time.
So if you were one of those families that rolled your own pasta last year maybe you’re ready to give fettuccine or macaroni a go. Food preparation stalwart KitchenAid has several attachments for its premium line of stand mixers that will help you craft the perfect homemade pasta.
We all love the taste and texture of fresh pasta, which can instantly transport us back to holidays in Italy and unforgettable restaurant meals. However, while fresh pasta is easy to pick up in the supermarket and freeze for later, many of us rely on dried pasta, and the thought of making your own from scratch can be daunting.
Make Pasta in All Shapes and Sizes with KitchenAid Attachments
PASTA ROLLER AND CUTTER ATTACHMENTS
With the KitchenAid Pasta Roller and Cutter Stand Mixer Attachments (5KSMPRA) you can whip up lasagne sheets, spaghetti and fettucine with ease in the comfort of your own kitchen. If rigatoni or bucatini are more your thing, you can also invest in the KitchenAid 5KSMPEXTA Pasta Shape Press. With these clever attachments, you don’t need to hop on a plane to get the best of Italian cuisine; you’ll be able to bring the taste of Gragnano to your own dining table.
PASTA SHAPE PRESS ATTACHMENT
The Pasta Roller and Cutter attachments are compatible with all KitchenAid stand mixers and give you everything you need to turn your bowl of dough into perfectly-formed pasta shapes. As Donna Currie writes on The Spruce Eats, ‘One of the trickiest parts about making pasta is rolling it evenly so you end up with noodles that are all the same thickness. The pasta roller makes that simple.’
After you’ve prepared your dough in the mixer, you just feed it into the roller attachment until it’s supple and silky. The flat sheets can be used to make lasagne or cannelloni. If you want to make spaghetti or fettucine, you can run your pasta sheets through the cutter attachment. The Pasta Shape Press, which also fits all KitchenAid stand mixers, makes spaghetti, bucatini, rigatoni, fusilli, and two sizes of macaroni. There is a different cutter for each pasta shape, and you just pop these little discs in place and then feed small amounts of dough through the press. Once you’ve made your pasta, you can toss it in a big pan of boiling, salted water and cook for one to three minutes, or store it in the freezer to cook another time.
KitchenAid Pasta Attachments Are Easy and Fun to Use
KitchenAid’s top-of-the-line pasta makers come highly recommended. Business Insider says that these handy little attachments ‘turn your KitchenAid stand mixer into a one-stop pasta shop.’ Boasting KitchenAid’s renowned engineering, these ‘durably constructed’ gadgets have an ‘excellent rolling and cutting speed.’ They are ‘easy to switch out’ and ‘easy to clean’, so using them is a stress-free way to add a special touch to your home cooking.
Making your own fresh macaroni or fusilli at home is great not only for showing off your culinary prowess, but for having fun in the kitchen and teaching your little ones to cook. Foodal says that this all-purpose set of pasta-making tools is by far the best way to equip your kitchen for fun nights of family cooking: ‘Homemade pasta is infinitely better than store bought, and makes for a fun way to enjoy an otherwise typical meal of spaghetti and meatballs.’
KitchenAid’s Sifter & Scale Makes Dough Prep a Doddle
These aren’t the only KitchenAid tools to consider if you’re dreaming of homemade pasta. Why not check out the 5KSMSFTA Sifter & Scale Stand Mixer Attachment? This smart little gadget weighs and sifts your ingredients for you, so you can mix your pasta dough without covering the worktop in flour!

Alternatives to Pasta
SPIRALISER ATTACHMENT
In the unlikely event you get tired of pasta, or want to cut down on carbs, why not replace it with veggies? KitchenAid has two nifty mixer attachments that help you turn courgette or sweet potatoes into pasta substitutes. The KitchenAid 5KSM1APC Spiraliser Attachment for Tilt Head Mixer cuts your veg into spaghetti-shaped strands that you can eat with pasta sauces or in a salad, and the 5KSMSCA Vegetable Sheet Cutter shaves vegetables like zucchini into thin slices that can be used instead of lasagne sheets.
FRUIT & VEGETABLE SHEETER ATTACHMENT

Cleverly designed with durable materials, these mixer attachments are no-mess, no-fuss. So, if you’re looking to get your kids interested in cooking, or impress your friends at your next dinner party, pick up a set of KitchenAid’s pasta attachments today.
Everyone who has purchased electrical equipment will be familiar with the energy rating label that is displayed on products ever since 1992. The label was designed to give an at-a-glance view of the energy efficiency rating of the product and aid consumers in making an informed purchase. However, the label is now almost 30 years old so long overdue for an update!
These new labels are already appearing in product boxes and from 1st March 2021 will replace the old labels on all displays in stores and online. So any recently purchased electrical appliances may contain both the old and new label. If so please do not be alarmed, your product is still energy-efficient, it’s merely now being measured against a more modern scale in order to give room for improvement as the world continues to drive energy efficiency even further in the years ahead.
New energy labels have been introduced for:
Dishwashers
Washing machines
Washer dryers
Fridges and freezers
Wine storage
TVs and electronic displays
Light sources (Sept 2021)
Read on to find out all you need to know about the new energy label.
1. Why are energy ratings are important
Climate change and energy efficiency are at the forefront of everyone’s mind. Addressing the climate crisis is an important part of life today. People are becoming more aware and involved in the fight against climate change by making adjustments in their everyday lives to become more energy efficient.
The introduction of smart energy meters gives consumers a transparent view of what energy they are using and in what areas they are able to make savings in both energy usage and cost. In addition to this, consumers are increasingly conscious of their electrical purchases and place a high value on the energy efficiency rating confident that a higher rating will provide the best choice.
Consumers rely upon the clear display of energy ratings on electrical goods to assist in making an informed purchase decision. The new label will show consumers the information they need to know in a simple easy to digest manner.
2. Why the new label is being introduced
The energy label system serves as a guide to consumers to be confident that their electrical purchase has a high level of energy efficiency, this labeling system has been in place for more than 25 years. The label has driven the development of innovative efficient products dramatically reducing the energy consumption and costs of appliances.
However, the current A+++/G labeling scheme has become less effective. The mixed label scale involving many “+” is no longer transparent and the majority of products on the market are already placed in the 2 – 3 top classes today – making it difficult for consumers to distinguish the most efficient products.
3. Features of the new label
New simplified efficiency scale The new scale will have a reduced range from A to G. The coloured scale featured on energy efficiency rating labels will remain the same as it is instantly recognisable and easy to use.
QR code for easy access to further information The new label will feature a QR code that can be scanned to obtain further information about the product if customers wish. This will keep the label simple and free from excess information, whilst still allowing the customer to easily find out more.
Partly new pictograms Icons are a quick and recognised way of relaying information therefore many will remain the same. There will however be some adaptations and additions to the new label. The spinning efficiency class of a washing machine and energy efficiency in HDR-mode for TVs will now be displayed.
Energy consumption will be more prominent The energy consumption of the product will be more prominently displayed on the new label. Clearly shown in the centre of the label, energy consumption is displayed in either kWh per 1000 hours or kWh per 100 cycles depending upon the product type.
QR code for easy access to further information The new label will feature a QR code that can be scanned to obtain further information about the product if customers wish. This will keep the label simple and free from excess information, whilst still allowing the customer to easily find out more.
Energy consumption will be more prominent The energy consumption of the product will be more prominently displayed on the new label. Clearly shown in the centre of the label, energy consumption is displayed in either kWh per 1000 hours or kWh per 100 cycles depending upon the product type.
4. Which products will carry the new label
The product categories that will be displaying the new label from March 1st 2021 are:
Dishwashers
Washing machines
Washer dryers
Fridges and freezers
Wine storage
TVs and electronic displays
Light sources (Sept 2021)
Each product group has an updated label to reflect the information that is most important to the customer. The label changes for each group are as follows:
Refrigerator and freezer labels will display the new A – G scale, an additional icon for chilled and unfrozen compartments and a new icon for noise emissions.
Washing machines will now show energy consumption per 100 washes. Along with water capacity and duration of eco programmes. Noise emissions are displayed for spinning only (not washing) however more information on noise emissions will be available.
Labels on washer dryers will now list energy consumption per 100 washes. A rated capacity will be listed for a wash and dry cycle in addition to a washing cycle. Noise emissions classes will now include spinning and durations of wash and dry cycles are included.
Dishwasher labels will display the eco setting energy consumption per 100 cycles. The water consumption for an eco setting will be shown in litres and the duration is now listed. A new icon for noise emissions is an addition to the label and more information on noise emission class is available.
Television and electrical display labels will now show energy consumption per 1000 hours of use. The screen size now includes resolution level in pixels. Detail or power in watts and hard switches has now been removed.
The new label system has been designed with everyday consumers in mind. Small changes can make a big difference to the impact that electrical products have on the climate crisis and also save hundreds on energy bills. By making the energy efficiency rating and its benefits clear, the new label system will serve to guide customers in their energy-efficient, cost-saving purchases.

If you’re like most homeowners, the vacuum cleaner is probably the most essential tool in your cleaning kit. Helping to keep floors clean, fresh and dirt free, vacuum cleaners make it easy to keep your home looking its best.
However, in order to get the most from your appliance, you need to ensure you get the perfect vacuum cleaner for your needs. To help you select the right model and the right style of appliance, we’re taking a look at some of the most common terms you’ll come across when searching for your new vacuum cleaner.
Bagged
Bagged vacuum cleaners have been around for years and will be familiar to homeowners of all ages. Unlike bagless and cylinder vacuum cleaners, bagged models collect the dirt, dust, and debris that’s sucked up from your carpets and floors in a bag. Once the bag is full, it can simply be removed from the appliance and thrown away.
The main benefit of a bagged vacuum cleaner is that it completely removes dirt and dust from your home. This is good news if you, or someone in your family, have allergies as the allergens will be gone for good. The downside of a bagged vacuum cleaner is that it requires new bags every few months. What’s more, when these bags are full, the suction power of your cleaner can be reduced. Although not expensive, these bags aren’t great for the environment as they have to be thrown away once used.
Bagless
Bagless cleaners collect the dirt sucked up from your floors and surfaces in a specially designed compartment. When it’s full, this compartment is removed from the cleaner and the contents emptied out. Unlike bagged cleaners, bagless cleaners don’t require any extra accessories. This means you won’t be caught short if you forget to buy new bags from the shop. Some bagless cleaners are also designed so that they don’t lose suction as they fill. This will help to ensure you’re always able to get your floors and surfaces as clean as possible.
Cylinder
Cylinder vacuums are a type of bagless cleaner. The cylinder is designed to suck up dirt and collect debris. A lot of cylinder cleaners are transparent, so you can see the dust building up as you clean. Once full, the cylinder is removed from the cleaner and the contents thrown in the bin. Almost all cylinder cleaners are upright vacuums, although some, such as the Dyson Big Ball Animal 2+ Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner and the Dyson Ball Multi Floor+ Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner, have slightly different designs.
Most high-quality cylinder vacuum cleaners are designed so that they don’t lose suction as the cylinder fills. However, emptying your vacuum on a regular basis is still the best way to ensure you get the most out of the appliance.
Upright
Upright cleaners are probably the most common type of vacuum. Thanks to their vertical design, they’re easy to use and suitable for people with bad backs and other mobility problems. Upright vacuums can be used to clean floors of all types and often come with a variety of accessories to help you get into all those awkward nooks and crannies. The Dyson Light Ball Multi Floor+ Upright Vacuum Cleaner and the Dyson Ball Animal 2+ Upright Cleaner are two good examples of this classic design.
Cordless
For years, vacuum cords made cleaning that little bit trickier. Larger rooms and properties with limited plug sockets were particularly hard to clean. As well as making it difficult to reach all the corners of a home, corded cleaners could easily become tangled and packing them away at the end of a cleaning session could be time-consuming.
Cordless cleaners don’t come with any of these issues. Unlike traditional cleaners, they’re powered by rechargeable batteries and so don’t require power cords or plugs when in use. Once you’re done with your cordless cleaner, simply slot it back into its charging dock and it will be powered up and ready for the next time you need to use it.
When buying a cordless cleaner, it’s important to invest in a high-quality appliance as some cordless cleaners lose power and suction very quickly. Vacuums such as the Dyson V7 Motorhead Extra Cordless Stick Vacuum and the Dyson V11 Absolute Extra Cordless Vacuum both offer long cleaning times and powerful suction, making them ideal for homes of all sizes.
Handheld
As the name suggests, handheld vacuum cleaners are small and light enough to be held in the hand. These types of vacuums are often used to clean sofas, cars, rugs and other small areas that regularly need a quick spruce up. Although these types of vacuums can be corded, most high-quality appliances are now designed to be cordless, making cleaning even easier.
Handheld vacuums are especially useful if you have pets and want to remove hair from your soft furnishings on a regular basis. They can also be used to vacuum up spills in the kitchen and to clean up quickly and easily after your kids. Look for a high-quality model such as the Dyson V7 Trigger Handheld Cordless Vacuum Cleaner if you want to guarantee excellent results every time.
Robot
Robot cleaners are ideal for house-proud homeowners who are short on time. Unlike other types of cleaner, these autonomous appliances don’t need a person to operate them. Simply turn them on, place them on your floor and your robot vacuum cleaner will criss-cross your room, sucking up dirt and debris as it goes. Some robot cleaners will even charge themselves up automatically when their power supply runs low, taking all the hassle out of keeping your home clean.
If you’re in the market for a new vacuum cleaner, our expert team will help you find the model that’s perfect for you. Get in touch today or take a look around the vacuum cleaners on our site to find out more.

German manufacturer Miele has long been at the cutting edge of technology and design. Over the years, the company has produced some of the most innovative and exciting appliances on the market, with each new range designed to meet the changing needs of consumers.
Miele’s latest range is no different, designed with users in mind, it combines modern, clean lines with the latest technology and materials. Christened Generation 7000, the range contains over 350 new products, including ovens, hobs, dishwashers and coffee machines. This allows you to completely transform the functionality of your kitchen and ensure your home is as future-proof as possible.
To help you decide if the Miele Gen 7000 range is right for you, we’re taking a closer look at the innovative appliances and everything they have to offer.
Gen 7000 Collections
The new Miele Generation 7000 cooking range is made up of four collections: Contourline, Pureline, Vitroline and Artline. Each collection features its own unique aesthetic and each has been designed with the user experience in mind.
The Contourline collection could be considered the most classic among the new range. Featuring stainless steel facades, clean lines and functional controls, these eye-catching appliances have a timeless feel and are suitable for kitchens of all types.
The Pureline collection is dominated by glass facades and horizontal lines. Ideal for contemporary kitchens and modern interiors, it combines a distinctive aesthetic with excellent functionality and usability.
If you’re looking for an even more modern look for your kitchen, the Vitroline collection could be the perfect choice. Like the Pureline range, it features clean glass facades and a modern aesthetic. Ideal for contemporary kitchens, products from the Vitroline range will add a light, stylish touch to your interior.
Artline is one of the most distinctive ranges in the Gen 7000 collection. Designed with seamless integration in mind, the range has a minimalist aesthetic, clean contours and a contemporary finish. As the appliances in the Artline range don’t have handles, they offer you the chance to create a smooth finish and integrate your appliances perfectly into your new kitchen.
The Vitroline range and the Artline collection is only available from approved Miele Centres and some kitchen studios. We would welcome you in store to take you through these exclusive ranges from Miele.
Appliances in the Generation 7000 range are available in three main colour groups: Brilliant White, Graphite Grey and Obsidian Black. These classic colours will help you to create a timeless look in your kitchen and make it easy to match your new appliances with your existing installations.
Innovation
Innovation is an important part of the Miele philosophy. With the Gen 7000 range, the company has worked hard to improve the user experience by using innovations in design and technology. This has helped to create products that are perfect for modern life and that help homeowners to make the most of their kitchens and their interiors.
The Miele Generation 7000 range features a number of innovations unique to the collection. Helping these stylish appliances to stand out even further from the crowd, these exciting advances will ensure you get even more from your Gen 7000 appliances.
FoodView
Many of the products in the Miele Gen 7000 range come with smart capabilities. One of the most exciting of these is the FoodView function, which allows you to view the contents of your oven remotely. Accessed via the Miele app, FoodView allows you to watch your food cooking, adjust the cooking time and change the temperature from your smartphone or tablet computer. If you have a hectic household, or if you need to maximise your time and productivity when you’re at home, this feature will help to make your life that little bit more streamlined.
TasteControl
If you regularly overcook or undercook your food, you’ll know just how much cooking time can impact on the taste, texture and appearance of your culinary creations. The TasteControl feature has been designed to ensure you get your dishes spot on every time.
At the end of the cooking cycle, the oven door will open automatically, rapidly cooling the interior and preventing your bakes and roasts from burning or drying out. Once the door has opened, a maintenance temperature can be set to ensure the food stays warm and ready for the table.
MotionReact
Miele has placed an emphasis on energy efficiency in the Gen 7000 range. The MotionReact feature has been created to ensure your appliance uses only the energy it needs. Appliances fitted with this technology use motion detectors to sense when you’re approaching. Oven lights and displays will then automatically be switched on when someone is nearby and turned off when no one is close to the appliance.
Full surface induction
Induction hobs help to improve the usability and energy efficiency of contemporary homes. Miele has made this innovative technology even more useful by introducing full surface induction in the Gen 7000 range. Unlike other induction hobs, heat settings are retained when a pot or pan is moved on the surface of these full surface induction cookers. This gives chefs more freedom and flexibility when it comes to creating outstanding dishes and helps to maximise the usability of the kitchen.
DualSteam
Over the past few years, the popularity of steam ovens has increased dramatically. Practical and efficient, steam ovens can help to make your dishes healthier and even more delicious. The DualSteam function in the Miele range has been designed to seal in flavour and nutrients as quickly as possible. Able to maintain uniform temperatures and humidity throughout your oven, its precise cooking temperatures allow you to steam your meals to perfection.
Exclusive to Miele Centres
To access the entire Miele Gen 7000 range, you need to visit an approved Miele centre. Both the Vitroline and Artline ranges are exclusively available to Miele and Miele Studios and there are also a number of premium products within the Pureline and Contourline ranges only available from approved suppliers.

Miele has long been one of the most innovative and exciting manufacturers in the world of kitchen appliances. Their products are produced with a huge amount of care and attention and are specifically designed to meet the many challenges of modern life.
One of the company’s latest innovations is the PowerDisk. Part of Miele’s Generation 7000 dishwasher range, the PowerDisk has been created to help boost dishwasher performance, minimise the amount of detergent used and help homeowners get great results from their Miele appliance every time.
If you’re currently on the lookout for a new dishwasher, selecting an appliance that’s compatible with the PowerDisk could help you get even more from your dishwasher. To help you decide if the PowerDisk is right for you, we’re taking a look at this innovative product and how it’s changing the world of dishwashers for good.
The Miele PowerDisk
Miele has already released a number of self-dosing washing machines. These are designed help households use the right amount of detergent in every cycle and get the most out of their appliance. Generation 7000 dishwashers introduce self-dosing technology to the kitchen. Designed to release a specific amount of detergent at just the right point in the washing cycle, self-dosing dishwashers help to get plates, pots and pans cleaner than ever before.
Miele has designed its self-dosing detergent in the form of a PowerDisk. This hockey puck-shaped product slots into a compartment in the front door of the dishwasher and releases small amounts of detergent at set points during the dishwasher’s cycle. Each PowerDisk contains around 400g of detergent and Miele estimates that each one should last around one month or 20 cycles.
When used in conjunction with the appliance’s auto programme, the PowerDisk adjusts the amount of detergent it releases to suit the wash cycle. If your dishes are heavily soiled or if the dishwasher is fully loaded, it will release a little more to help cope with the extra work. On the other hand, if your Generation 7000 dishwasher only contains lightly soiled crockery and cutlery, the PowerDisk will release a little less of its high-performance detergent into the cycle.
Performance
The Miele PowerDisk contains specially formulated granular detergent. The product also has rinse aid and components for salt function built in, giving you complete cleaning capabilities. As the PowerDisk has been specifically designed to work with Generation 7000 dishwashers, it will provide you with excellent results and help you to get your pots, pans and plates gleaming every time.
Just 7g of detergent is released into the dishwasher each time the PowerDisk rotates during the cycle. On average, the disk will rotate around four times per cycle, using just 28g of detergent to clean your dishes.
Use your G7000 dishwasher’s auto mode to detect exactly how much detergent is needed in every wash. This will help to minimise the amount of detergent you use while helping you get great results from every cycle.
PowerDisks are specially formulated to help protect any glass or sliver that’s placed in your dishwasher. This will help to ensure that all the items you wash come out looking great.
Buying new Miele PowerDisks
If you have a Generation 7000 dishwasher, you can buy Miele PowerDisks direct from Gerald Giles. Some dishwasher suppliers are also planning on selling the product, giving you a choice of options when it comes to stocking up. Buy your PowerDisks in bulk to ensure you never run out of detergent. If your appliance is running low on detergent, you can use the Miele app to check its levels, receive notifications when your PowerDisk falls below a certain level and even order more of the product when your stocks run out.
Affordability
Miele PowerDisks are priced at under £10 each. If you buy in bulk, you can make the detergent even more affordable. As Generation 7000 dishwashers have built-in technology that means you’ll never use more detergent than you need to, you can be confident that your appliance will run as affordable as possible.
What’s more, as G7000 use minimal energy to power each cycle, you may well see a reduction in your home energy bills. Miele G7000 dishwashers can even tell you if you’re using them efficiently, giving you the tools and the know-how you need to make your home that little bit greener.
Miele Generation 7000 self-dosing dishwashers
Miele PowerDisks are compatible with Miele G7000 self-dosing dishwashers. These dishwashers have only recently hit the market and form part of Miele’s innovative range of kitchen appliances. Unlike other dishwashers currently available, Miele’s Generation 7000 appliances come complete with self-dosing technology.
A world first, this innovative idea helps households to minimise the amount of detergent they use in every cycle, reduce their impact on the environment and make their kitchen run as efficiently as possible. Miele’s G7000 dishwashers are also compatible with standard dishwasher tablets and liquids, giving you full control over your kitchen and your cleaning routine.
As well as using Miele’s unique self-dosing technology, Gen 7000 dishwashers offer a range of other benefits. For a start, they’re Wi-Fi enabled. This means you can hook the appliance up to your smartphone and control it when you’re out and about. As well as allowing you to turn the appliance on and off remotely, the Miele app also sends you notifications when you’re running low on detergent and allows you to buy new PowerDisk packs instantly.
Miele PowerDisks offer homeowners an innovative and affordable alternative to traditional detergent options. Designed to be as efficient and effective as possible, PowerDisks will help you to keep your plates, pots and pans clean, in good condition and looking great.
If you’ve already invested in a Miele G7000 dishwasher, or if you’re thinking about adding the appliance to your kitchen arsenal and want to find out a little more about PowerDisks and how they work, we can help. Get in touch with a member of our team, or take a look around our site, to find out more.

Chocolate, orange and cardamom Easter Blossom Bread
Ingredients
Dough 500g Strong white bread flour, plus a little extra for dusting 10g Fine table salt 12g Fast action yeast 60g Caster sugar Finely grated zest of 2 oranges 100g unsalted butter 120ml Milk 120ml water Seeds from 12 green cardamom pods, crushed 2 Medium eggs A little vegetable oil for bowl
Filling 160g Chocolate spread
Glaze Juice of 1 orange Approx 200g – 250g Icing sugar
1. Put the strong white bread flour in the bowl of a stand mixer that has been fitted with a dough hook. Alternatively, you can mix by hand in a large bowl but this is a sticky enriched dough that can be a little bit tricky to handle so on this occasion I would recommend using a machine if you have one. 2. Add salt, fast action yeast, caster sugar and the finely grated zest of 2 oranges. Mix on a slow speed. 3. Gently warm the milk and water with the butter and the crushed cardamom seeds. Once the butter has melted strain the seeds from the liquid. 4. Gradually add the warm milk mix (make sure it’s warm and not hot or it will kill the yeast) along with the eggs that have been lightly beaten. Mix for about 5 minutes until the dough is soft and smooth. 5. Tip into a lightly oiled bowl and cover with cling film. 6. Prove until the dough has doubled in size and springs back when you press it, approximately 1 hour. 7. Tip the dough onto a floured surface and knock it back. Shape it into a smooth ball and then roll it into a 30cm circle. 8. Place a small upturned bowl or drinking glass (about 9cm in diameter) in the centre of the circle and using a very sharp knife cut the dough into quarters from the edge of the dough to the rim of the bowl or glass. 9. Cut each quarter into 4 evenly sized wedges then remove the bowl or glass. You should now have 16 wedge-shaped strips surrounding the uncut centre.
10. Take two strips that are side by side and twist them together about 5 times; pinch the ends together then coil the twisted dough into a round. Arrange this round on the uncut dough in the centre of the circle. 11. Continue to twist and pinch the remaining 14 strips together in pairs, coiling and arranging them into 7 petals that surround the central rosette. 12. Make 8 balls of foil about 2.5cm in diameter; wrap these balls in a small square of baking paper. Carefully place 1 in the centre of each petal to ensure that once the bread has baked you have a hollow for the filling. 13. Transfer the loaf onto a baking sheet that has been greased or lined with baking paper, reshaping a little if necessary. 14. Cover the loaf with a clean tea towel or a large polythene bag and leave to prove for approximately 45 minutes until it has doubled in size and springs back when you press it. 15. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C (fan). 16. Remove the tea towel or bag but leave the foil balls covered in baking paper in situ. Bake for 30 – 35 minutes until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when you tap it. Transfer onto a wire rack and leave to cool slightly. 17. Fill a disposable piping bag with chocolate spread and snip off the end to give you a fairly wide opening. Remove the foil balls and pipe chocolate spread into each of the 8 hollows. 18. Mix enough of the icing sugar with the juice of 1 orange to make a glaze and fill a disposable piping bag. Snip off just the very tip of the bag and pipe the glaze backwards and forwards across the petals and over the chocolate spread. Allow the glaze to set before serving.
Tips
• The chocolate spread can be replaced by raspberry jam or lemon curd if you prefer. • You can use teaspoons instead of piping bags to fill and glaze the bread if you don’t mind a slightly more informal finish.
Blueberry and Orange White Chocolate Speckled Egg Cake
Ingredients
340g (12oz) soft baking margarine or unsalted butter, softened 340g (12oz) caster sugar 6 Large eggs 280g (10oz) self-raising flour, plus a heaped tablespoon 115g (4oz) ground almonds 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder Finely grated zest and juice of a large orange 250g (9 oz) blueberries 300ml (10 floz) double cream, whipped 4 tablespoons orange curd 1 quantity of white chocolate ganache 12 medium sized speckled chocolate eggs 1 tablespoon cocoa powder mixed with 1 ½ tablespoons vanilla extract
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan, gas mark 4). 2. Grease and base line 3 25cm diameter loose bottomed cake tins. 3. Put all the ingredients except the orange zest, juice and blueberries in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer for a couple of minutes (a little longer if you are doing this by hand). 4. Stir in the orange zest and juice. 5. Cut your blueberries in half and toss them in a heaped tablespoon of flour. I appreciate that this is a little fiddly and time consuming but it is definitely worth it to help stop your blueberries from sinking. It is a quite good job to delegate to any available smaller members of the family with nimble fingers! 6. Divide approximately half the cake batter between the 3 tins and spread it so it is level. 7. Fold the floured blueberries to the remaining batter and then divide this equally between the 3 tins and level, again this is to try and help prevent sinkages. 8. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes until the cakes spring back when you press them. 9. Allow the cakes to cool for a few minutes before running a knife around the edge of the tin to loosen them and transferring onto a rack and leaving to cool completely. 10. Fold 4 tablespoons of the orange curd into the whipped cream and use this to sandwich the 3 cakes together. 11. If you have time freeze the cake at this stage before applying the ganache as this will make the cake much easier to coat. 12. With a palette knife apply a smooth coating of ganache to the sides and top of the cake. 13. Make sure you are not wearing your best white shirt and cover your baking area with baking paper or something similar, it might even be a good idea to do this outside if it’s a nice day – this is a messy business!
14. Use a clean new stiff paintbrush or toothbrush to flick splatters of the cocoa that has been mixed with vanilla extract all over the surface of the cake so it resembles a speckled eggshell. 15. Use the remaining ganache to fill a piping bag fitted with a 2d piping nozzle (closed star). 16. Pipe 12 swirls around the edge of the cake and sit a speckled egg in the centre of each one.
Orange Curd Finely grated zest and juice of 2 oranges Juice of a lemon 2 Large eggs, lightly whisked 170g (6 oz) caster sugar 115g (4 oz) unsalted butter, cubed 1 heaped teaspoon cornflour
1. Put the lightly whisked eggs in a medium saucepan, then add the rest of the ingredients and place the saucepan over a medium heat. 2. Whisk continuously for about 8 minutes until the mixture thickens. 3. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and gently simmer the curd for a further minute, continuing to whisk.
White chocolate ganache 340g (12 oz) good quality white chocolate, chopped or pellets 250ml (8 fl oz) double cream 100g (3 ½ oz) unsalted butter
Pinch of salt (this helps to temper the sweetness of the white chocolate and it also helps the ganache to set hard) 1. Put all the ingredients in a medium-sized saucepan and heat gently, stirring continuously until they have just melted. 2. Pour the ganache into a bowl and leave the ganache to cool. 3. Once cool whip the ganache until it is light and fluffy.
Tips
I think the brightly coloured flecks of orange zest look particularly attractive when the cake is cut and I also love the pairing of blueberries as a softer alternative to lemon but you can, of course, go for the classic combination of blueberry and lemon if you prefer.
If they are in season blood oranges make a delicious curd. I would still add the juice of a lemon to add just a little bit of tartness.
Any leftover curd can be stored covered in the fridge for up to a week (or longer if put into sterilised jars) and is wonderful spread on soft buttered white bread or maybe even a hot cross bun.
This cake also looks beautiful in blue; just add a dab of paste colouring to the ganache.
Every year, more and more of the content we watch comes from dedicated streaming services. Where once BBC, ITV and Channel 4 were the main content providers, these days, a lot of people watch their programmes almost exclusively via on-demand services.
However, just because you’re watching something using a streaming service, doesn’t mean you want to watch it on your computer. Huddling round a laptop screen, tablet computer or even a phone can diminish the viewing experience and cause you to miss out on the great sound and picture quality most shows are streamed with.
The best way to get the most out of your favourite shows is to watch them on your TV. Giving you a large screen and a ready-made sound system, watching on-demand shows via your TV will help to ensure you really enjoy the experience.
If you’re not sure how to stream shows through your TV, or if you just want to find out which devices are most compatible with your favourite streaming services, we can help. Keep reading to find out more.
Smart TVs
If you’re new to the world of streaming and on-demand services, we should start with the basics. Essentially, services like Netflix, Amazon Prime and BBC iPlayer are all internet-based platforms that allow you to stream online content straight to your home, whenever you want.
As these services operate over the internet, you’ll need a smart TV if you’re going to watch them on a big screen. Smart TVs are internet-enabled and so are able to connect to your WiFi router and stream content straight from the web.
As well as enabling you to watch Netflix, Prime Video and iPlayer, smart TVs allow you to search other online platforms like YouTube and to connect devices to your TV using your WiFi network. Although this may sound complicated, once you get to grips with your new, 21st century TV, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
Netflix
Netflix is one of the most popular streaming services around. According to CNN, the service has almost 150 million subscribers worldwide, making it one of the most watched sites on the web. Some of its most famous shows include The Crown, Making a Murderer and Stranger Things. Luckily, if you want to enjoy Netflix shows on your home TV, there are plenty of models to choose from.
Panasonic offers some of the best smart TVs on the market at the moment. From this more basic Panasonic TX40FS503 LED Full HD to their exceptional Panasonic TX55FZ802 OLED 4K UHD, the company has produced a number of excellent models in recent years.
Investing in a full HD TV will help to ensure that you don’t miss any of the visual detail contained in your favourite shows. Colours will be brighter, images crisper and faces in better focus than you’ve ever seen before.
The Samsung QE55Q9FNA QLED 4H UHD TV takes things one step further. Presenting you with ultra HD images, this model is ready for the future of streaming and will provide you with the highest quality TV for years to come.
Prime Video
Amazon Prime membership comes with a lot of benefits. As well as having access to a huge variety of movies and TV shows, you’ll also be able to benefit from free one-day delivery when you buy products on Amazon and will have access to a range of exclusive deals through the web giant.
Like Netflix, Prime Video is available on all Panasonic, Sony and Samsung smart TVs. This gives you an excellent selection of models to choose from when you’re next adding to your home entertainment system.
If you’ve had Panasonic TVs in the past and want to stick to what you know, the best model to go for is the Panasonic TX55FZ802 OLED 4K UHD. This high-quality device will give you exceptional image quality and great sound. What’s more, its 4K Ultra HD display ensures the TV is futureproof and ready for the new advances that are going to come its way.
BBC iPlayer
The BBC has put a lot of investment into its streaming service in the past few years and iPlayer is now one of the most watched sites on the internet. Home to all your favourite BBC shows, as well as a host of original and imported content, the streaming service is a must-have for TV addicts everywhere.
BBC iPlayer can be viewed on all Panasonic, Sony and Samsung smart TVs. If you’re looking for an affordable smart TV with great picture quality, the Panasonic TX40FS503 LED Full HD is an excellent choice. Able to stream a variety of services and offering excellent connectivity, the TV will help you to enjoy all your favourite online shows.
If you have a little more in your entertainment budget, opt for the Sony KD55XF9005 LED 4K UHD. Offering an Ultra HD display and great sound quality, it will make the perfect addition to your home.
Now TV
Although it doesn’t currently have quite the same reach as Netflix or Amazon Prime, Now TV is rapidly growing in popularity, with millions of people now using the service. Unlike Netflix, Amazon and iPlayer, Now TV is only available on Samsung smart TVs. Choose the Samsung QE55Q9FNA QLED 4H UHD for the best possible viewing experience.
BT Sport
One of the most popular specialist streaming services available, BT Sport is a must-have for fans of all things sporty. Like Now TV, BT Sport needs to be viewed on a Samsung smart TV. If you don’t currently have a Samsung, or if you’re looking to upgrade your current model, the Samsung QE55Q9FNA is the ideal TV for your home.
With so many excellent smart TVs now on the market, finding a model that suits you perfectly should be easy.
