Professional Skills

Meet the heart and soul of Sparkles Kitchen World—Sparkles and Spud, our distinguished Dalmatian Kitchen Supervisors. These two spotted personalities have been overseeing operations since day one, bringing their unique brand of quality control to everything we do. Sparkles, our namesake, is the more discerning of the pair. With an impeccable nose for quality, she takes her supervisory duties seriously, inspecting every delivery and ensuring all kitchen activities meet her exacting standards. She's particularly fond of monitoring bread-making sessions, positioning herself strategically whenever Chris fires up the Thermomix for his German sourdough creations. Spud, on the other hand, is the enthusiastic optimist of the duo. No recipe test is complete without his approval, and he's developed quite the sophisticated palate over the years. His specialty is motivational support—those soulful eyes and encouraging tail wags have gotten the team through many long recipe development sessions. He's also the official greeter, ensuring every visitor to Sparkles Kitchen World feels immediately welcome. Together, they embody the spirit of what we're all about: cooking with love, sharing with joy, and never taking ourselves too seriously. Whether they're photobombing our weekly kitchen show, "helping" with product photography, or simply reminding us when it's time for a break (and possibly a treat), Sparkles and Spud keep us grounded in what matters most—that cooking should bring happiness to everyone involved. These four-legged team members might not be able to operate a Thermomix themselves (paws aren't great with touchscreens), but they're masters at creating the warm, family atmosphere that makes Sparkles Kitchen World special. After all, they know that the secret ingredient in every great dish isn't just what comes from the Thermomix—it's the love and laughter shared around it.
