Restaurant owner and caterer Margot Henderson once described being on a big job, and the power – or maybe the mixer – failing, I can’t remember which. What I’ve never forgotten is that meringues were on the menu, so her team resorted to whipping them up with forks.
That is a story about how you can bake almost anything you set your mind to without a stand mixer. But like any good power tool, having one definitely makes life easier.
