Your Kitchen: 60 Years of Fads & Gadgets

In this nostalgic two-parter we chart the transformation of the British kitchen from the 1950s to the present day. TV chefs from Phil Vickery to Ken Hom, design experts and historians reveal the trends and social changes that shaped the look and design of our kitchens over the decades.

A panel of celebrities (Janet Ellis, Danny John-Jules and Jenny Eclair) road-test the must-have gadgets of the day, from the Kenwood Chef to the Spiralizer discovering which should grace our countertops and which should be shoved to the back of the kitchen cupboard.

Plus, we discover the adverts that sold us everything from flat-pack kitchens to the Breville sandwich toaster and we reveal how ‘the kitchen’ was represented in the sitcoms of yesteryear.
