Where I stayed was out in the sticks so was more or less in the kitchen all the time cooking, baking etc, it was great. Made home made sausages one time, had the mincer and the sausagemaker/kebo thing (like lebanese snack things), excellent, you could make fat ones or thin ones, two sizes of attachments. The only gripe I had was with cleaning the mincer, what a pain in the buns. Made pancakes, cakes, scones, muffins all the time all different kinds off the www.allrecipes.com site. Blended soup, milkshakes. Made fishcakes, and potato pancakes (specialty thing over in germany, with apple sauce). The carrot cake, see the above link under Awesome carrot cake or something like that, it was lovely, absolutely best carrot cake I've ever tried. Made light work of everything and how I miss it, sob, sob. There was a recipe that they had in the book provided with it for fishcakes, they were really good. Oh how I miss it.

Go for it - I ummed and aaarghed for ages until I requested it for last xmas didn't feel so baad then and nothing else I really wanted, it has had a good years worth of use and I wouldn't be without it now, I've also upgraded my processor this year to a kenwood auto pro and they are both in use a lot!! The kenwood daily, makes great shortcrust pastry and fantastic meringues! I also picked up an old kenwood recipe book for a £1 with the piccy of the old kenwood on the front and I use that a lot as well!
I got some attachments including the sausage maker but haven't ever got around to making the sausages yet so any advice would be great, have made pasta using it and that was really nice!

Halloween Queen- I make sausages with my Chef and mincer, this is my recipe

They are potato pancakes, usually served with apfel muss and eaten in winter with a cup or two of gluhwein whilst looking at the Christmas Market!! (Oh the memories)

Oh, right, emmm I hate to say this but I got the recipe from the American (www.allrecipes.com) site. I'll see if I can find the one I used and drop you a line with it. They were very good and my exes kids who were quite picky, they were German/American loved them, and the apple sauce etc. Couldn't make the things fast enough.

I'm pretty sure that this is the recipe I used...

They were very good with apple sauce made using Granny Smiths. I shredded (don't suppose it matters whether it's course or fine but the pic that you posted looks like they were fine shredded) the potatoes in the Kenwood and then wrung out all the juice by placing in a teacloth and wringing it out. Give them a go, you never know, you may like them.

Another favourite made on Sunday mornings and with loads of maple syrup was this one, now I know having the cottage cheese in sounds yuk but they really were the bees knees. I did try a few alternatives but each time the kids wanted to have these ones. They are very good.

Did them in a huge non-stick tefal griddle. Very good.

There is this recipe too for potato pancakes but I've not tried it.

Don't know about the herby taste, perhaps they flavoured the oil that they cooked them in beforehand. Ones I made didn't last long and they all wanted more. Perhaps they were done on a barbecue type stove where the smoke flavoured them while they cooked.

There is this one, (last one). No flavour substitute for Schmaltz, fried chicken fat. Here is the recipe for the pancakes, sauce and how to get the fat for frying them in etc.
