ENTERTAINER’S WISH LIST
These lust-haves will take your soiree from great to glorious
“New technology in the kitchen adds quality to your life – not only do you get your cooking time back, but your results are better” ~ Tamara Buchanan, Smeg
Wine cooler
A dual-temperature-zone wine cabinet may sound excessive, but if you are a true connoisseur you’ll know that good wine storage means more than whites in the fridge and reds in the cupboard. “Enjoying a glass of wine has become a quintessential part of entertaining culture, so wine cabinets are fast becoming an Aussie kitchen essential,” says general manager Tania Garonzi of Hisense Australia. Great for aficionados of the grape, a dedicated wine cooler is also brilliant for entertainers – just make sure you position it in a space in your kitchen where guests can access it easily, saving you a little bar duty.
Clever cookers
From homemade dips to 30-second daiquiris, all-in-one kitchen appliances should be at the top of any entertainer’s wish list. The Thermomix, for example, does the work of a host of appliances, making way for more bench space, and less time in the kitchen. Ambassador Michelle Bridges says, “The rise of technology helps make things simpler for people in the kitchen and saves them time, too – it’s a great tool for making real food simpler, faster and more fun.”
