Magimix by Robot-Coupe Gifting Event

Bon Jour! It was Thanksgiving and Christmas rolled into one when I opened the door and found this sitting on my front porch...and it's been love ever since! Let me introduce you to the Magimix by Robot-Coupe 12-Cup Food Processor ~

Gorgeous, right? I know! I have even named it! Wait till I tell you everything Francoise can do! First, it has three bowls ~ small, medium and large so you don't have to stop to wash and dry bowls during preparation. One of my favorite features is an extra-large feed tube which eliminates the need to pre-cut most ingredients. It effortlessly mixes, blends, minces, slices and dices everything from herbs to pizza dough and bread! I think Francois is going to help make a chef out of me yet!

It arrives in a sturdy box which you can use to store it, but it's such a beautiful piece of kitchen equipment, especially in the chrome color, that you could leave it right on the countertop.

It also includes a DVD, a handy storage container for blades and accessories, and two recipe books {one in English and one in French, hey maybe I'll learn French while learning to cook!} ~

Since I'm challenged in the kitchen, I'm always interested in anything that can help save time, make cooking easier, and inspire me to try different dishes. The cookbook is filled with delicious recipes. With the holidays just around the corner, I decided to give the Gratin Dauphinois {potatoes au gratin} a try ~

I'm happy to say I didn't burn down the house! They look pretty delicious if I do say so myself. Perfect with a salad and glass of wine for a vegetarian meal or as a side dish to the holiday Turkey. ~ 

The food processor was easy to use even for a novice like me. It saved a lot of time and effort slicing the potatoes and grating the cheese. It would be such an asset to anyone who loves to cook or bake especially during the winter months and holidays. I know several friends and family members who would love to find this under their Christmas tree. Did you know Magimix by Robot-Coupe was the first company to develop a food processor? Their food processors are handmade in Burgundy, France, as they have been since the company launched. Magimix is the only company of its kind that manufacturers its own {extremely quiet} motors which automatically adjust power and speed for the job at hand. The company just introduced a 30-year warranty...that's right... thirty years! I can't think of another company that offers a 30-year warranty on a food processor. The 12-cup food processor in chrome retails for $349.95 exclusively at Williams-Sonoma. It's also available in white for $299.95 as well as a 14- and 16-cup size.
