kitchen area

Where meals happen

The part of a home or building where food is prepared, or the space designated for cooking within a larger room.

In open floor plans, the kitchen area may flow into living or dining spaces without walls: We set up a small table in the kitchen area.

The phrase often appears in real estate listings and design contexts to describe cooking spaces that aren't fully enclosed rooms.
