I've always resisted buying one, but cook most things from scratch and currently don't have a lot of space in my kitchen. A small, handy gadget to assist me would be great but there are so many to choose from!
I will mainly be wanting to mix fine ingredients, say crushed garlic, nuts, chickpeas (falafel!), herbs, veggies.
I already have a hand blender for soups, and don't eat smoothies.
Any decent suggestions?
