The Smitten Kitchen is a 16 year-old food blog celebrating triumphant but unfussy cooking. It. wants to be the place you go to find your new favorite thing to cook. Physically, the Smitten Kitchen is a kind of half-galley with a wobbly, peeling cart used as a cooking surface.

A kitchen is a room or part of a room used for cooking and food preparation in a dwelling or in a commercial establishment.

Today's professional kitchen is organized into multiple workstations. A workstation is an area in the kitchen dedicated to a particular task, such as broiling or salad making. Workstations using the same or similar equipment for related tasks are grouped together into a work section.

The very first “kitchen” dates to ancient times and consisted of an open fire and a separate area to prepare food. During the Middle Ages, European countries relied on the open fire with a hearth, where pots were placed on coals for cooking.
