Simple and delicious Homemade Lemon Curd!
I’ve often seen recipes that called for lemon curd, but it always sounded like lemon curd was something fancy and difficult to make. It turns out it’s extremely simple to make homemade lemon curd!
If you can make a pudding, you can make homemade lemon curd. [Read more…]
Find out why the Bellini Intelli Kitchen Master is a must-have for your kitchen!
I was given a free Bellini Intelli in exchange for my honest opinion about it.
I was recently sent a Bellini Intelli Kitchen Master to try using. Having never heard of the Bellini Intelli, I had no idea what to expect. Knowing it was soon to be delivered, I started looking online, and I was surprised to find out that the Bellini is highly popular in Australia and Europe.
The Bellini Intelli is like having another cook in the kitchen with you. This machine is pretty amazing: it chops, cooks, blends, stirs, steams, fries, kneads, and more!
In fact, the coolest thing (in my opinion) about the Bellini Intelli is that it can stir and cook at the same time! All those recipes that require you standing over the stove stirring can be done for you with the Bellini! It’s seriously awesome!
It’s fabulous for making sauces, since it cooks and stirs for you! I made noodles and cheese sauce the other day, and I was able to put the ingredients in, set the stir speed, temperature, and time, and then go and sew while my cheese sauce was made for me! It was fabulous!
It was recommended that I try starting out with a simple recipe to get a feel for the Bellini before trying to branch out and create my own recipes. So I made lemon curd, and it was amazingly easy. While it cooked and stirred the lemon curd, I enjoyed my time by more sewing! (I’m sure you’re seeing a pattern to this, right?)
The recipe for Lemon Curd will be on the blog tomorrow, so come back to try it (and regular, over the stove instructions will be included in case you can’t wait for your Bellini Intelli to get here!).
After spending a month interacting with members of various Bellini groups on Facebook, I’ve learned that this is the machine that will make your life amazing. With thousands (even hundreds of thousands) of group members, along with blogs entirely dedicated to Bellini recipes, it’s got all the hype that the Instant Pot has gotten here. And it seems that if you had the Instant Pot along with the Bellini, you would have the makings of the perfect kitchen (and you may not even need a stove anymore!).
Although the price is a bit higher than the Instant Pot, the Bellini Intelli can do so many more things! Get rid of your blender, and use the Bellini for shakes instead. Steam veggies. Make risotto (without even half of the work). Blend adult drinks. Chop, stir, and cook soup for dinner.
I’m completely sold on the Bellini being the coolest kitchen gadget I’ve ever seen! You’re going to love owning one!
