Yes, but you are restriced to a floor area of 50m/sq. Also, the immersion would be usually protected by a 16amp MCB or 15amp fuse. Your radial circuit should be protected by a 20amp. (the lower rated 16amp will not cause ANY danger, but doesn't allow as much load as the correct breaker.
You should bear in mind that kitchens are electricity-thirsty areas. A 20amp radial may not cut-it if it is to feed many items.
