| Design Process: History of Kitchen #2 | Thursday, 23 January 2014 | leave me ♥? |
It's common to start off with history but by knowing them, we are able to know more about the early days.
A kitchen is a part of a house that used for cooking and food preparation. The kitchen have a microwave oven, a dishwasher and other electric appliances. The main function of a kitchen is to cook or preparing food but it also used for dining, food storage, entertaining, dish washing and laundry.
There's so many things you could do when your at the kitchen. And i wonder if this leads to too little space?
The wealthy families in Ancient Greece had the kitchen as a separate room that's usually next to a bathroom (both rooms heated by the kitchen fire). There was often a separate small storage room in the back of the kitchen that used for storing food and kitchen utensils.
Common people in cities usually had no kitchen of their own in the Roman Empire. They did their cooking in large public kitchens. Some had small mobile bronze stoves which a fire could be lit for cooking. Wealthy Romans had well-equipped kitchens. The kitchen in a Roman villa was joined into the main building as a separate room which set apart for practical reasons of smoke and sociological reasons of the kitchen being handled by slaves.
The fireplace was on the floor which places on the wall and one had to kneel to cook as there were no chimneys. Over the years, the kitchen and equipment have changed. And we are able to cook easily by using the stove.
