Bangalore: 22nd May, 2014- KitchenAid India today launched its powerful and sophisticated dynamic appliance – The KitchenAid Pro Line Cordless Hand Blender in association with Masterchef- Vikas Khanna in Bangalore. The launch is a part of multi city #Blendappetit Tour spanning across India starting from May 20, 2014 in association with Foodhall and Ezone. While, the cordless blender is a unique, first of its kind, versatile product, it comes with an ultimate experience of ‘anytime anywhere’ blending. The afternoon witnessed the launch of Masterchef Vikas Khanna’s book- “Hymns from the Soil”, the first book on Indian vegetarian food and a tribute to Mother Earth, which is launched exclusively with Amazon.
The cordless hand blender is a magical kitchen wand that comes equipped with a rechargeable 12V lithium ion battery which gives it the power to perform efficiently. The super blender can blend, mix, whisk, chop, froth, puree, shred and whip up anything in a flash. The freedom from cords is one of its most elitist features and the 12V lithium battery ensures an optimal runtime with superior performance and durability and hence the ‘anytime, anywhere’ experience. The cordless hand blender comes in four exciting colours- Candy Apple Red, Frosted Pearl White, Medallion Silver and Onyx Silver and is available at a price of Rs 19,990/-.

Our brand is synonymous with flawless performance and cutting edge design and that is why most chefs choose us for their homes.The newly launched cordless blender is a beautifully designed toolkit for the chef in you. It is a brilliant combination of sophistication, simplicity, unmatchable design and yet powerful. It not only gives you the freedom to blend anywhere but also encourages you to invent new recipes on the go.”
Masterchef- Vikas Khanna also added, “It feels great to be associated with KitchenAid India since I have spent many years innovating recipes with the brand’s iconic appliances. The Blender is a great tool for the kitchen and a must for people who are versatile and like creativity in their cooking style. I also feel proud to launch Hymns from The Soil, a vegetarian saga along with KitchenAid. “Hymns from the Soil”, is an exquisite amalgamation of gentle, pure, heart warming vegetarian food that sings with the nature’s harvest.
In India we often call our soil, the Mother Earth or Dharti Maa. Mother Earth, in all languages, cultures in India is synonymous with the gentle, soothing, caring mother who loves and lives for her children. The beautiful vegetables and fruits growing in the purity of the soil are yet another form of her love and affection for her children. With “Hymns from the Soil” Chef Vikas Khanna offers his gratitude and prayers to Mother Earth for her abundance.
The recipes in the book accentuate the purity and spirituality of vegetarian food while bringing ( or layering it with) in cultural and regional nuances. At the same time, the food journey is interspersed with Vikas’ own personal journey – whether it is going back to his kitchen garden in Amritsar and waiting for the cardamom to grow as a curious child to exploring the cardamom spice farms as an adult with the same level of excitement and enthusiasm.
Hymns from the Soil offers a heartening tribute as Chef Vikas Khanna bows to Mother Earth.
