We cook at home too and I love our open kitchen. I lived in apartments with "proper" enclosed kitchen and I didn't like it. Give me an open kitchen anyday. True, the foods we cook don't smell as much and we have very good ventilation. Plus my sense of smell is a bit shot (though not defunct), so I don't mind. People have different esthetic and practical preferences.
