Also in: Küchenterritorial (Deutsch) · cocinitorial (Español) · cuisitorial (Français)

Describing a cook who requires the kitchen empty of all other humans for the duration of any meal.

The kitchenterritorial cook works alone by law: helpers are assigned knife duty elsewhere, and offers to "just stir something" are declined with a smile that closes the subject. The rule is not hostility; it is concentration. When the meal lands, the territory reopens, and the household is welcomed back as tourists.

Etym. — kitchen + territorial — the border drawn at the kitchen door during cooking hours.

Rel. — spoonmonopoly
