In the prehistoric times the houses in Greece were commonly of the atrium-type and the rooms were arranged around a central courtyard. In such types of homes, a covered but otherwise open patio served as the kitchen. In the early days of Roman Empire, as the common folk in cities often had no kitchen of their own they used to cook in large public kitchens.The early medieval European longhouses had an open fire under the highest point of the building.The first identified stoves in Japan date about from the same time and these stoves are named as kamados and they were typically made up of clay and mortar. In wealthier homes an automated system for a rotating spit for roasting invented by Leonardo da vinci was used.
Next comes the Industrialization followed by Rationalization and Technicalization.

Industrialization:
Due to the advancement in the technologies industrialization not only brought major changes but also social changes to the kitchen.
Rationalization:
The trend to mounting gasification and electrification continued at the turn of the 20th century and the work processes were attempted to be streamlined in industries.
This forms the phase of rationalisation.
Technicalization:
The idea of standardized dimensions and layout developed for the Frankfurt kitchen took hold and the concept was refined in the "Swedish kitchen" using unit furniture with wooden fronts for the kitchen cabinets.
Types of Kitchen:
The various forms of kitchen are as follows:
Designing of kitchen:
The most essential mode of kitchen is designing. All of us who follow the trends in decoration and design are well aware of the vogue for mega-sized kitchens than the ordinary ones. There is nothing against these grand spaces, but it always warms our heart especially the design sensibilities to visit small kitchens that sparkle with both efficiency and style.
Some of the things that we have to do for getting more efficiency in a small place are nothing but renovating without expansion.The steps that are to be followed are as follows:
Define the space:
A small kitchen cannot serve too many functions. For instance, eliminating or moving the junk drawer, serving the kitchen as a catchall for bills, trash mail, homework assignments and odds and ends. If our goal is to make it a cooking center, concentrate only on that goal and if possible allocate some seating arrangements even if it's just a couple of tall stools pulled up to a counter for guests. The phrase that has to be remembered is that a lonely cook will be an unhappy cook.
Open shelving:
Use a combination of fitted, built-in storage pieces with unfitted, pieces and open shelving. While standard kitchen cabinets may make good use of space, top-to-bottom built-ins can often make a small kitchen feel boxy and claustrophobic. Use closed cabinets underneath counters and, just like the hip restaurants of today, utilize unlock shelving, storage bars, hooks and pot racks on top. Open shelves also force the cook to be tidy and neat, and to eliminate non-essential items from view. The hoax of the great designer is creating the sense of more light and air.
Clear counter surfaces:
If the surface area is limited do not park the microwave, toaster and coffeemaker on the counter. Instead of that keep them on a movable industrial cart or in a pantry cupboard. Do we really need all those appliances? If suppose the bread machines are to be used occasionally, store it between uses in a bottom cabinet, a countertop appliance garage or in a storage area outside the kitchen.
Think outside the box:
If we are scheming a kitchen to meet our desired cooking requirements, then think through all the steps and make the kitchen fit our needs.
