In the Kitchen
The kitchen is the room where food is prepared and cooked. Often, food is also stored and eaten in the kitchen. Other homes have a separate room for storing food (pantry) and for eating meals (dining room). Kitchens are also used for entertaining informal guests, for holding family discussions and for doing school work.
