When it came time to create our wedding registry, the first thing I flew to was the Artisan mixer. I had heard tons of reviews on how useful it was, how it lasted forever, and how it comes in so many cute colors! Sure enough, I found a color I loved - caviar, a sparkly black. I never guessed how much I would use it once I found out how easy it was to use. I use it to make bread, whip cream or egg whites, make compound butters, make all sorts of baked goods and probably most importantly (to me) - whip up a big bowl of chocolate ganache! The only downside is the attachments are so expensive - I've bought only the meat grinder so far to make sausages a la Alton Brown on Good Eats. Wish I could get more, but I can't justify it if I don't see myself using them overly often. Overall, I recommend this to any kitchen-gadget lover or newlywed!
