What On Earth Is This KitchenAid 2024 Color Of The Year Supposed To Be?

Right, let’s address this “KitchenAid 2024 Color of the Year 8559320” nonsense. It’s like someone tried to mix a periwinkle blue with a reddish-pearl finish and ended up with an embarrassing excuse for a color. It’s supposed to be the color of a stand mixer, but it’s no surprise that it looks more like a failed attempt at bathroom tile decor. The only thing that’s going to be magical about this is how quickly it will disappear from kitchen countertops once people come to their senses.

Now, let’s move on to something more appetizing. How about whipping up a classic beef Wellington? Get yourself a beautiful piece of beef fillet, coat it in a delicious layer of mushroom duxelles, wrap it in prosciutto, and then encase it in a layer of puff pastry. It’s an elegant and impressive dish that will leave your guests astounded — quite unlike that abysmal Color of the Year.

As for a wine pairing, I’d recommend a robust red like a Bordeaux or a Cabernet Sauvignon. A Château Haut-Brion Pessac-Léognan would be the perfect complement to the rich flavors of the beef Wellington. Just be sure to have a decent wine opener on hand — because, unlike that pitiful color, this wine deserves to be uncorked with style.

If you somehow managed to survive this recipe without causing a kitchen nightmare, then consider yourself lucky. But honestly, if you need more culinary disasters in your life, go ahead, subscribe for more punishment. And if by some miracle you think there’s something to correct or add — because clearly, it’s not perfect — then by all means, leave a comment. Or better yet, save us both the trouble and don’t.
