History of the Kitchen in Alaska

Kitchen designs have changed more in the last fifty years than they have over the last thousand. There are four basic reasons for this. First, due to the advent of electronic appliances and what we now call kitchen gadgets, and second, due to the changed function of the kitchen. Basically, we spend a lot of time in the kitchen in a social context. So our kitchens now serve both a practical and an entertainment function. The third and also significant factor is that we cook less. With the abundant availability of prepared and processed foods, the need for dedicating kitchen space and function purely for sustenance is no longer a factor. The fourth governing factor is that since cooking has moved away from the practical to the fun, the emergence of hand held and built in kitchen appliances has created a new breed of cook. The type of cook whose primary aim is to explore and experiment with various types of foods and is not concerned with having to learn the absolute basics of cooking. There's no pressure to cook broths or breads or sauces from scratch anymore, since they can be bought ready made.
