The Kitchen Sisters are Davia Nelson and Nikki Silva, who are National Public Radio radio producers in the United States. Nelson and Silva met in 1979, in Santa Cruz, California. Silva was curating museum exhibits about local history, and Nelson was recording oral histories for KUSP. They began doing a weekly radio show together about California regional culture. While Silva also works as a museum curator, and Nelson as a casting director, they have collaborated as radio producers ever since meeting. Their name comes from two eccentric brothers, Kenneth and Raymond Kitchen, who were stonemasons in Santa Cruz in the 1940s. The Kitchen Brothers were the subjects of one of Nelson and Silva's first radio pieces.〔Nelson and Silva, "Hidden Kitchens: Stories, Recipes and More from NPR's The Kitchen Sisters", xi-xii.〕 The Kitchen Sisters have produced over 200 stories for public broadcast. They chronicle hidden bits of history and subjects who have shaped our diverse cultural landscape.
