Kenwood Cooking Chef stand mixer

The Kenwood Cooking Chef is a high-end kitchen appliance known for combining a traditional stand mixer with induction heating technology. The Kenwood brand originated in the United Kingdom in 1947, founded by Kenneth Wood in Woking. Since its inception, the brand has been synonymous with durable and innovative kitchen gear, particularly after the launch of the iconic Kenwood Chef in 1950.

Today, while the brand maintains its British heritage and design engineering, the manufacturing for most consumer products, including the Cooking Chef series, takes place in China. In 2001, Kenwood was acquired by the De'Longhi Group, an Italian company. The brand remains a key part of De'Longhi's portfolio, benefiting from Italian management while keeping its technical roots in the UK.
