Kiwi Kitchen

An entertaining and informative history of New Zealand kitchens and cookery, told through artifacts, gadgets and ephemera that tell a story that goes deeper than the objects themselves.

A journey around the Kiwi kitchen - from the cake tins to the kitchen sink. Explore the contents of a typical pantry, bench, cupboard, drawers, fruit bowl, vege bin, stove and fridge. Read the fascinating stories behind it all - from the slightly weird implement in the kitchen drawer of odds and ends (you don't know where it came from and you don't know what it does), to the everyday item you don't usually look at twice.

Illustrated with quirky line drawings and written by the team that brought you Kiwi Country - Te Radar and Ruth Spencer
