This was called 'Wohnküche'(Kitchen to live in), and enabled by things like 'Kachelofen'(Masonry stove) in Germany, but died out about 100 years ago. Or at least anything built after WW2. The Russians with their colder climate pushed this to the extreme with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_stove where the thermal mass and ducts also heated the room instead of only being used for cooking.
This is interesting. If I understand correctly, European housing evolved from open to closed kitchens during the same period that American housing went in the other direction.
A friend of mine in Korea has an apartment with both solutions. There is a large kitchen area open to the dining/living area, and also a sliding glass door separating a second complete (but small) kitchen with a large window to the outside.
