Probably to save the smell of cooking wafting through the living quarters of the owner of the castle.
Another answer: the smaller buildings inside the castle walls and the floors and supports were usually largely built of wood, and the kitchen was a major fire danger.

Why was the middle age kitchen separated from the castle.?
A very simple reason for the separation was because they caught fire often and to have the kitchen apart saved the rest of the house or castle from burning down. In colonial America they did the same thing for the same reason. In Jefferson's slave quarters the historians kept finding a pattern of nails outside the cabins the slaves lived in. Those were there because when the chimneys caught fire they would run outside and pull down the chimney away from the cabin. It was all ready built so they could do that, so fires happened often.

What did the kitchens usually look like in Medieval castles?
Well it depends..... if you are a peasant You dont have a kitchen but you have a big pot in the middle of your 1 room house and dried food hanging on the wall. Including meat. but if your in a castle you have a giant kitchen!That wasn't helpful...Here is the proper answer!Castle KitchensKitchens were the main part of the castle, without them the inhabitants couldn't eat. They were big and spacious so that the many cooks could move around and far away from the great hall for fire safety, often the food got cold on the way to the great hall, so a passage was built away from the doors to stop the wind coming through.A kitchen would have had a big open fireplace to roast animals such as cattle on it. Over the fireplace they would also cook soups and stews in bronze, clay, silver or copper pots. They also smoked meat over the fire to preserve it.The job of cook could be very dangerous, the fire spat and hissed and the cooking got very hot. The risk of fires was very high and this was why the kitchen was as far away from the great hall as possible. They had no chimneys so had to waft the smoke through vents in the wall, if possible, however, they cooking was done outside.There were often many different rooms for cooking in a castle depending on the type of food that was cooked. Some kitchens had tables for chopping and setting out the food, others had spits for roasting and stewing.On the celling would have hung utensils such as spoons, pots and pans

What did kitchens look like in castles?
No two castles in England are identical, so the location, layout and size of kitchens varies. Food would be eaten in the Great Hall, which might be inside the donjon (later incorrectly called a "keep"), or in a separate smaller building; the kitchens might be some distance away from either of these so people had to get used to eating food that was barely warm. In a small castle the kitchen is often within the donjon, while at larger sites the kitchen is itself a separate building to reduce the risk of fire being spread on to other parts of the castle. The kitchen would be a large room with bread ovens, a large fireplace (or two) and perhaps a sink all built into the thick stone walls. There was often a cesspit entrance near the fireplace where kitchen waste (and human excrement) would be deposited. This cesspit could only be emptied in buckets via the kitchen, an extremely unhygienic arrangement. The kitchen would be overseen by the butler (the official in charge of all catering and wine storage), with a cook and a staff of kitchen servants to prepare food. Inside the kitchen would be large oak tables, shelves and hooks for storing and hanging utensils; the oven would include one or more spits for roasting meat over an open fire. At least one hearth provided heat for cauldrons. An account of the staff of the kitchen of king Henry I includes a "turnspit" whose only task was to sit near the fire turning meat on a spit, for which he was paid one and a half pennies per day.
