I never could make dumplings properly. My mum makes great dumplings, big and fluffy and yum, but mine always come out looking like golf balls.
Our 4 sandwich (8 halves) Breville sandwich toaster has seem some use over the years. Best filling? Chilli.
Favourite kitchen device – Tefal Actifry. Gorgeous crunchy chips/wedges, ‘fries’ on a teaspoon of oil, plus perfect sausages. Gets used at least twice a week.
Fanciest kitchen device – Kenwood Chef. We bought it mostly for making pastry and bread dough, which it does extremely well. I’m not even allowed to move it, let alone use it, because it weighs an absolute ton – even the glass blitzer (great for smoothing out lasagne meat) is too heavy for me to lift!
