BOSCH is well known for home appliances and they make some exceptionally powerful kitchen gadgets too.
We put the Bosch MultiTalent 8 MC812M853G food processor to the test to see how well it does in a home kitchen.
The Bosch MultiTalent 8 MC812M853G food processor is not a small machine by any means – the main bowl has a 3.9l capacity and it comes with a 1250W motor – so it’s for serious home cooks who need to prep for big dinners.

Reading is the sort of place that people only get excited about once a year, when the Festival is on. The rest of the time it’s lost in the homogeneity of commuter towns, never gaining the notoriety of Slough as the worst place to live in England, nor with the culture and postcard views of Henley-on-Thames. It’s just a vast, suburban sprawl that bleeds and blends into more of the same.
I never wanted to move to Reading. There was a choice, you see – we had to live somewhere near Bracknell for my dad’s work and, for some now unfathomable reason, I was quite taken in by the promise of an astroturf pitch at a school in Winchester. But the world conspires against you when you’re 14. Somehow, despite failing French in the entrance exam, I got into the girls’ grammar school in Reading where the outdoor space was negligible and a mounted portrait in the main hall proudly proclaimed: “John Kendrick, the founder of this work house”. But at least it was academically excellent.
So it was that my formative years were spent in this humdrum place where I made friends, lost them, rekindled some and laughed and cried with wild abandon. I went to house parties at homes of people whose names I can no longer remember, kissed secret boyfriends in verdant gardens and fell too madly in love. But I was living in a bubble, one pressurised by this collective drive to achieve great things. And like all bubbles, mine burst.

Since borders started closing and the first lockdown came into effect in March 2020, many of us have stayed local, unsure of when we might be able to travel again.
Virtual holiday experiences became the salvation, offering a much-needed injection of joy and distraction.
Live streams and virtual museums popped up around the world, giving us a glimpse into the life we’re currently missing. From the confines of our homes, we could be instantly transported to the stunning Sistine Chapel or see the magical Northern Lights.

THE Cuisinart brand was founded on food processors in 1971 so we’d expect, after 50 years, they know a thing or two about making these machines work like a dream.
We put the Easy Prep Pro to the test in a home kitchen to see just how efficient it is.
Cuisinart’s food processors come in two different sizes.

A Singaporean university student was walking down a London street when he heard someone shout, “I don’t want your coronavirus in my country.” When the student turned, he said four men attacked him, giving him a bloody nose and a broken bone near his right eye.
A similar story played out in Madrid, where a Chinese-American expat was so violently beaten that he woke up two days later in the hospital. He told police that all he remembers was hearing someone say “something about the coronavirus” before everything went black.
Incidents like these occurred a few months after the novel coronavirus—the virus that causes COVID-19—was first reported in a market in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. As infection rates once again rise around the world, spurred by new, more contagious “super strains,” these attacks aren’t going away. From the United States to the United Kingdom, people who look Chinese are being targeted for racially motivated assaults, fueled by fear of a virus that knows no race, country of origin, political affiliation, or economic status.
