An apparatus (100) for processing foodstuffs comprising:

• an upper part (1) including an infeed opening (6);
• a drive (2) connected to the upper part (1), wherein the drive (2) is a manually operatable cord-pull drive comprising a drive wheel (61) with an external toothing (62);
• a working unit (4) configured to be set in rotational movement by the drive (2), wherein the infeed opening (6) is configured for infeeding the foodstuffs to be processed to the working unit (4) for cutting the foodstuffs in the upper part (1), wherein the working unit (4) includes an internal toothing (63), the drive wheel (61) is disposed in relation to the working unit (4) so that the external toothing (62) of the drive wheel (61) engages in the internal toothing (63) of the working unit (4), and actuation of the cord-pull drive (21) sets the working unit (4) in rotational movement via the external toothing (62) engaging with the internal toothing (63);
• and
• a holding-operating element (13) disposed over the infeed opening (6), wherein the holding-operating element includes a duct (14) for infeeding the foodstuffs to the infeed opening (6), and the holding-operating element extends above the upper part (1) for manually holding the apparatus.
