I bought my first food processor in the early 80's well before FoodTV
graced the airwaves. It was a La Machine and it lasted for about 20
years. Actually, it was still working OK (even if the motor lugged a
bit) when it was replaced with a Cuisinart. I used that old La
Machine quite a bit through the 80's and 90's. I remember that Bon
Appetit in those days had a monthly feature on using FPs.
