Cookshack

/ˈkʊkʃæk/ noun

Definition

A small, simple structure or building used for cooking, especially on a ranch, at a work site, or in a remote area.

Etymology

Compound of cook and shack, combining cook with shack (a crude or temporary dwelling, from unknown origin but possibly from Mexican jacal). This term is particularly American, used in frontier and rural contexts.

Kelly Says

Cookshack evokes the American frontier and rural working life—it's the kind of word that tells you about historical cooking practices when proper kitchens didn't exist, and it remains in use on modern ranches and work camps.
