In a society seemingly so obsessed with food, the humble kitchen utensil and its evolution is an often-overlooked aspect of Britain’s heritage.

By investigating the objects themselves, Emma Kay uncovers the rich history of how Britain’s kitchens became so versatile and, as the gadgets increased in availability, how cooking became far more accessible, labour-saving and even addictive.
