Why? Open floor plan let’s someone cook and monitor kids at the same time. It makes cooking a communal activity and not something to be done in the back and it allows for more than one person to use the kitchen at the same time. Closed cramped kitchen really kind of suck and relegate cooking to an activity that’s essentialy done in a back room. The process of cooking becomes unimportant and all you have is the results.

As a man that does most of the cooking I would absolutely hate to have a back room kitchen so I don’t really understand why this would be different if a woman was cooking.
