Hetty Lui McKinnon's Tenderheart, and kitsch visions of the Queen

In this edition of Blueprint For Living, meet Hetty Lui McKinnon — a cult Australian cook whose latest book, Tenderheart, nods to family and identity. 

Then sample the kitsch design paraphernalia generated during Queen Elizabeth II's reign — the teatowels, teaspoons, and other everyday design objects that carried her image. Anni Turnbull, a curator at Sydney's Powerhouse Museum, shares their stories.

Afterward, award-winning Australian landscape designer Paul Bangay gives us a primer on the veggie patch, and Blueprint's resident design expert Colin Bisset gives us the history of the object that stuck… teflon.
