Major Winners receiving a Kambrook Pink Pack, including a Blitz2Go, Bench Mixer and Stick Mixer are:

Amanda from Frewville with her Armenian Cake recipe

This cake means a lot to me as it is a recipe passed down from my great aunt Alice. Here is a photo of her carrying my cousin, and my dad carrying me on my christening day. She was a great cook, and taught me many tricks. Everytime I made this cake she critiqued it and told me how to improve it! She would also have told me not to share it, but I don't mind letting other's enjoy her favourite cake too!

Dyane Canha with her Strawberry Dumplings recipe

Dumplings with plums, also called Knedle, is a legendary dish in the Wrobel family. The legend is that ONLY Grandma Dana from Poland knows how to make them. So a few years ago my dear husband's family were on a mission to learn the recipe and make it themselves. The end result; however, would be a big lump of dough that had to be thrown out. We were horrified at the thought that REAL Polish dumplings would disappear from our future dinner tables forever.  After much supervision from Grandma Dana and with much trial and error, a few of us managed to master the recipe. My husband's cousin also gave me a few tips on making the dough just perfect. I must say it is a labour of love for dumplings that kept me going. My first attempt at the dough turned out rather sticky. It wasn't bad, but maybe too much potato. However, it was a step in the right direction! My second attempt was almost perfect, but had a little too much flour. It was my third attempt that made me feel great pride to be part of a wonderful Polish family. The mystery of how to make plum dumplings was revealed to me and the taboo that you had be a Polish Grandmother to make them was broken.

Find both of these recipes further down on this page.
