A home isn't built by buying more things - it's improved by choosing the right ones. GOOD Home brings together products I've found genuinely useful, from kitchen essentials and DIY tools to cleaning, storage and everyday household items. Every recommendation is included because it has earned its place, not because it's popular.

Kenwood MultiPro OneTouch FDM73.480SS Food Processor & Blender
As I started cooking more from scratch, I wanted one appliance that could chop, slice, grate, knead dough, blend soups and prepare smoothies without filling the kitchen with separate gadgets.

At around £140, it offers excellent value if you'll make regular use of its versatility.
