The clever little gadget is the secret weapon of cooking legend Delia Smith. Whether it is finely chopping an onion, or quickly cutting up some green leaves or herbs, the cookbook author turns to her mini chopper to get the chop done in a flash.
'If you want to short-circuit lots of tedious chopping and knife sharpening, I’m really enthusiastic about this ingenious mini food processor,' Delia says on her website Delia Online. '1 tablespoon chopped parsley: 2 seconds, ¾ packet watercress: 4-5 seconds, a finely chopped onion… you name it – thousands of fast little processes that save you time.'
Delia's chopper of choice is a Kenwood. While we are huge fans of anything Kenwood, we can't resist the Aldi version which comes in at half the price, at just £9.99.
