Kenwood will be officially launching its new kMix Boutique range of small kitchen appliances tonight, showcasing the range of six products at an event in Sydney’s Dawes Point. The range, which includes eight bright colours, is sure to add a splash of colour to a very grey and dreary day of Sydney weather.

The range includes a Kitchen Machine, Bench Blender, Triblade Hand Blender, Hand Mixer, Jug Kettle and Two-Slice Toaster, and each product is available in a choice of Passion Pink, Coconut White, Glam Green, Sun Kissed Yellow, Outrageous Orange, Raspberry Red, Peppercorn Black and Bold Blue.

In addition to the dedicated launch event, Kenwood will also be out in force at the Plates for Mates benefit dinner tonight, bringing along appliances from the kMix Boutique range to bring some colourful support to the fundraiser.

The Plates for Mates benefit is being held at Sydney’s Steel Bar & Grill and will raise money to support celebrity chef and caterer Matt Golinski who lost his wife and three daughters in a house fire on Boxing Day last year.

Funds are also being raised for The McComb Foundation which was established by reconstructive surgeon and former Australian of the year, Dr Fiona Wood. The foundation conducts research into tissue engineering technologies and works with burns victims such as Golinski to aid their recovery and raise their quality of life.

Tonight’s dinner, which is just one of many events being held across Australia as part of the Plates for Mates initiative, will be attended by a range of celebrity chefs, including George Calombaris from Masterchef and Manu Feildel of My Kitchen Rules.

Donations can be made at the Plates for Mates website, where there is also information on how to start your own fundraiser event.

Kenwood's kMix Boutique range, including the Triblade Hand Blender, is available in eight colours.
