Jennifer Garner is bringing Spanish cuisine to her home! The actress took to social media to share a video of her latest partnership with Kitchen Aid. The Texas native star shared childhood memories of how her mom’s cooking appliances would be on all day until the sound almost became music to her ears.
“If my childhood had a soundtrack, my mom’s @KitchenAidUSA hand mixer would be a greatest hit. Growing up, anything that felt like a treat—cookies, birthday cakes, pizza dough, whipped cream—started with a turn of that mixer,” she recalls. “As a 20-something, my first pseudo-adult purchase was my own KitchenAid—this time the stand mixer I’d seen on cooking shows and coveted in my best friend’s childhood kitchen.”

We make all the usuals—plus pasta, plus ice cream, plus bagels, plus plus plus. It is with heartfelt happiness and ease that I bring the news that KitchenAid is now Pretend Cooking Show’s very special friend,” she informs proudly.
