Mumsnet on Miele appliances

On the good housekeeping section of Mumsnet, ErnestTheBavarian needs to start her kitchen from scratch appliance wise,

“Need brand new everything. If Miele is the best washing machine, what’s the best oven, hob, tumble-dryer, dishwasher - what features do I look out for, what do I avoid…”

Posted only yesterday, the thread has already generated 34 responses all eager to offer advice. MrsJohnDeere and whomovedmychocolate are both advocates for the Miele dishwasher, with the latter stating,

“I have a Miele dishwasher – It is truly a thing of beauty - three racks! Wonderful!”

But when it comes to ovens amidaiwish isn’t taken with Miele, but does suggest the plate warming drawer is “fantastic”. How do you feel about Miele ovens? Agree with MrsJohnDeere and whomovedmychocolate when it comes to Miele dishwashers? Visit the Mumsnet thread to add your thoughts or leave us a comment below.

Recipe: St. Patricks Day goodness

Next week, on the 17th of March, the world will turn a little bit green to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. As the Miele living website states, Ireland might only have a population of 6 million, but that doesn’t stop the globe getting involved when it comes to celebrating the day,

“The lively parades that we now associate with St Patrick’s Day began in America in 1762 and have flourished ever since as immigrants celebrate their Irish identity and their roots in the old country. Everything goes green for the occasion, including clothes, beer, the fountains in London’s Trafalgar Square and in Chicago, for the last forty years, they have even dyed the Chicago River green!”

What are doing for St Patrick’s Day? If you’re intending to cook why not try the traditional bacon and cabbage with champ. It might not sound like much of a culinary treat, but that isn’t the case. It’s superb and if you fancy giving it a go there is a recipe on the Miele Living site to help you out.

Plus, if you want a little extra Ireland with your meal, then look no further than a cup of Irish Coffee… Be sure to let us know how you get on.
