Meet the unsung heroes of your kitchen drawers.
When you hold a vegetable peeler or potato masher, do you ever think about the person behind it?
We celebrate chefs and cookbook writers - but what about the people who make the tools that make it all easier?
Emily Thomas meets three product designers who explain the thinking behind the everyday objects we keep in our kitchens. We’ll hear about accessibility and segregation - but also art and beauty. Welcome to the philosophy of kitchen gadgets.
Contributors: Dan Formosa, Scott Jarvie, and Gavin Reay.
