"Culina" is a Latin equivalent of "kitchen."
There are two main approaches to the pronunciation of Latin. One respects the rules of the liturgical Latin of the Church. The other follows the rules of the classical Latin of the ancient Romans.
Sometimes the two differ. At other times, they agree. In this case, the pronunciation is the same: "koo-LEE-nah."
The word for "kitchen" in Latin is the first declension feminine noun "culina, culinae".
'Good kitchen' in Latin is 'bona culina.'
kitchen = cocina
The kitchen is "la cuisine" (fem.) in French.
Although most people recognize that Latin is a "dead language" and therefore cannot have new words in it, the fact is that Latin continued to be the official language of the Roman Catholic Church until well into the 20th Century. The Church found it necessary to develop new words to deal with things such as telephone, radio, automobile, and many other aspects of modern life. This was easier to do because many of those modern aspects were described by terms in other languages that had been invented using Latin or Greek roots. So Latin does have many new words, but if you are learning Classical Latin in school you are unlikely to encounter them, or to need to know them.

The English word kitchen comes from the Dutch "keuken" and the similar German word which means "to cook".
The first thing to understand about medieval kitchens is that there were no chimneys until the 12th century, and they were introduced through Europe rather slowly after that. This meant that a modern style of fireplace did not exist, and so the removal of smoke was a problem that had to be dealt with. The result was that whenever possible and practical, cooking was done out doors. Manor houses and castles had kitchens, but they were usually separate structures, very well ventilated. Baking was usually done separately from other cooking, as it required an oven, where other cooking was done over an open fire. Sometimes the kitchens were incorporated into the manor house or castle keep, and in such a case a smoke canopy gathered the smoke and guided it out through a vent. The smoke canopy was also called a hanging chimney, but it was not a chimney in the modern sense at all. The kitchens also had tables for food preparation, and there could be a whole variety of cupboards, closets, cellars, pantries, and so on associated with the kitchens. Peasants, when they cooked indoors, used a hearth, usually in the middle of a dirt floor, and the smoke rose to the gables or a hole in the roof and escaped. When peasants needed bread, they either bought it, or they cooked it at a community oven, which could be rented. There are links below.
The English word kitchen derives from the Old English cycene, from Western Germanic*kocina, a variation of the Latin coquina.The phrase "Everything but the kitchen sink" refers to intense bobardment, WWII.
