Perhaps, actually, Mr Z makes really delicious ice cream: this is cardamom ice cream with chocolate cardamom pieces and I ate so much I felt violently sick for several hours, it was so good. I love that it came with an ice cream maker attachment.
Perhaps my favourite thing about it so far, though, is the light work it makes of dough. I have always been a little bit afraid of yeasted doughs; they were the preserve of Father Hand when I was a child and always involved some sort of mysterious kitchen alchemy to which I was not privy. No more! This thing has helped me, this week, to whip up a batch of croissant dough (so much work after the initial mixing, but so, so worth it) and, today, these -

Turkey, cranberry and stuffing chelsea buns, from last year's GBBO Christmas special. I just chucked the dough ingredients in the bowl and set it going for about 7 minutes, et voila. Perfect, elastic dough.
It was definitely worth the wait!
