Seeing red: Gadgets to stir the emotions from Kitchen Passion.

The company’s full range — accessories, scales, cookware, porcelain, flatware and forged stainless steel knives — is available online, with free delivery to your door.

And there are stores in ­Killarney Mall, Parktown North and Sandton City in Johannesburg and Brooklyn Mall or Lynn­wood Bridge Mall in Pretoria.

“Kitchen Passion is a haven for people who love to spend time in the kitchen, creating in it and showing it off,” says the company’s Austrian-born chef, Roland ­Granitzer.

The stores sell high end kitchen gadgets such as the Kitchen Aid Artisan Espresso Maker, Staub Teapot and the Zwilling Twin Sharp Knife Sharpener. And it boasts a variety of leading European kitchen brands, including Zwilling JA Henckels, Staub, Nippes Solingen, Blomus, Demeyere and Swiss ­Diamond.

My personal favourites happen to come in red. The Luisa ADE retro-chic kitchen scale, with a dishwasherproof bowl made of brushed stainless steel, sells for R340.

The bright-red Kitchen Aid Artisan Stand Mixer is beautiful, durable and versatile and, by the look of it, will last longer than your kitchen. Priced at R6 300, you have to think of this product as an investment.

Then there’s the Kuchenprofi Atlas Marcato Pasta Maker, with a dough-roller unit for rolling and kneading, and a removable double- cutter head for tagliatelle, ravioli and fettuccine. It is available in a variety of colours including pink, blue, black, yellow and silver and retails for R1 900.
