Episode Kitchens
Who invented the Kitchen? It might seem silly to ask that but there is in fact one kitchen that people point to as the mother-of-all-kitchens. It was built in 1926 in the middle of a German housing crisis, by an architect called Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky. It became known simply as the "Frankfurt Kitchen".
Dallas is joined by S.E. Eisterer, a historian of architecture who has long been fascinated by Schütte-Lihotzky, her kitchens and her life.
