Brought to you by the "Love It or List It, too" episode I'm watching right now while I procrastinate and stare at a pile of work I need to tackle tonight.
MM talked about this episode a while ago. It's apparently a second small kitchen in a home, used for either especially pungent foods, or to handle overflow cooking for entertaining.
wait until i tell my MIL, she will die these exist! she hates ANY food cooking smells and installed a door to her kitchen so she could close it off to the rest of the house, lol.

I saw these a lot when I lived in Korea. They use a lot of very strong smelling foods that tend to linger (garlic, chiles, oil, etc...) They use the spice kitchen to prepare and cook those foods so that it doesn't make the whole house smell. It's more like a closet with awesome ventilation rather than an actual room.
I saw that episode, too! I was shocked that they were actually finding houses that had a spice kitchen. I thought he was going to have to be like - Oh, there's a kitchenette in the basement, you can cook down there...
Who actually builds houses with 2 kitchens right next to each other?
i actually just have a crew come in and demo and rebuild every time i cook. what, like i'm going to CLEAN UP a kitchen? that's for peasants.
I knew of one Indian family that had this. It was a small room between the garage and main portion of the house, with a 2nd stove, 2nd refrigerator, and lots of ventilation. It was adjacent to the main kitchen and dining area, but had a door so it could be closed off. They entertained a lot, and they were excellent cooks, so it seemed to be used more for overflow cooking than smelly cooking.
Lots of older Greek people have a basement kitchen (second kitchen) where they cook and hide the mess and leave the upstairs one sparkling clean. The funniest was once visiting a small village in Crete where my cousin's MIL had an entire house that was just for show, decorated and super clean and they lived in a shack in the yard.

I just now watched that episode, and the Lady kept asking,"is there a spice kitchen"? Im like wtf is a spice kitchen? Just found out and I think its ridiculous. Sounds like a waste of Money, that could be used for a Master suite with a luxurious spa bathroom.

This is the thread that will not end. Yes it goes on and on my friend. Some people started asking it, not knowing what it was and they'll continue asking it forever just because... This is the thread that will not end. Yes it goes on and on my friend.
