Where the cooking was done depended on when the manor house was built, and who built it. The modern chimney was not invented until the 12th century, and manor houses were still being built without chimneys for some time after that. The result was that much of the cooking was done outdoors. Manor houses without indoor kitchens usually had separate kitchen buildings with large windows for ventilation so cooking could be done under a roof in bad weather. Some manor houses had kitchens with vents in the wall or roof, often with the smoke guided to the vent by a smoke canopy. Manor houses with kitchens in the building often had multiple kitchens for cooking different things. Baking was done in an oven, and the ovens were not small, so a separate kitchen was done for baking.
Kitchens tended to be located in low areas of the buildings, usually at ground level. But until there were chimneys, the kitchens tended to be in parts of the buildings where the roofs did not rise far above them.

How is a medieval castle compare to a manor?
A manor is the basic unit of feudal land holding in the later middle ages. It was comprised of one or more villages and their farmland, and included a manor house complex that would have been the home of the lord of the major, or his steward if he was not in residence, as well as the center of the lord's agricultural activities on the manor. The manor complex, although often surrounded by a hedge, fence, mound, or wall, was of minimal military value in repelling an organized force. A castle by comparison was a major military fortification, would have had very substantial walls, and would have a substantial garrison of knights and common soldiers. It also could serve as the home of a great feudal lord. Castles were held only by the very highest levels of medieval society, and were relatively few in number. Manors were much more common, with a manor complex being present in all but the smallest villages.
