The kitchen has long been the heart “of the house and at the same time, a site of technological innovation. We have come a long way from cooking over an open fire with kitchens offering performance today, technology and innovation at hand.

Liberation through innovation For centuries, the food was cooked over a fire in the hearth of stone or brick. The cooking fire also heated the room and the light cast. In the early years of colonization in Canada, the kitchen is a multipurpose space where the housewife not only prepared the family meals, but hot water to wash, dry clothes on rainy days and spun wool, among many other tasks.

It was hard work cooking in a kitchen with fireplace – from lifting heavy iron pots near the fireplace to warm coat and put hundreds of apples to dry. There was the pleasure of creating delicious dishes from seasonal produce garden and locally raised meat and game. There was an equal appreciation of how to preserve and store food for winter and how to make best use of limited supplies before the next harvest.

Electric refrigeration home undoubtedly also contributed to the safe storage of food.

We do not need to be in the kitchen (or field) as much as our ancestors did, but it is still essential for us as social beings to interact through the kitchen and dining. In the 21st century, we find it important to know where our food comes from, to make healthy choices about food, and to beware of the perverse effects of new technologies.
