Kitchenista
A “kitchenista” is someone who loves to be in the kitchen. The term uses the same derivative ending (”-ista”) as the popular term “fashionista” from the 1990s; “-ista” is a Spanish ending, popularized by “Sandinista” in Nicaragua.
“Kitchenista” is cited in print since at least 2001. Similar to the word “kitchenista” is the name “Chichen Itza,” a famous Mayan site in Mexico.
Wikipedia: Sandinista National Liberation Front
The Sandinista National Liberation Front (Spanish: Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional, or FSLN) is a socialist political party in Nicaragua. Its members are called Sandinistas in both English and Spanish. The party is named after Augusto César Sandino who led the Nicaraguan resistance against the United States occupation of Nicaragua in the 1930s.
Wikipedia: Chichen Itza
Chichen Itza (pronounced /tʃiːˈtʃɛn iːˈtsɑː/; from Yucatec Maya: Chi’ch’èen Ìitsha’, “At the mouth of the well of the Itza”) is a large pre-Columbian archaeological site built by the Maya civilization located in the northern center of the Yucatán Peninsula, in the Yucatán state, present-day Mexico.

The kitchen is my closet
Meet the kitchenistas — New Yorkers who store their clothes in ovens and fridges

After a hard night on her feet as the manager of a busy downtown restaurant, Bari Musacchio heads to her NoLIta studio apartment, hangs up her coat, takes off her shoes — and puts them in her refrigerator.
“I have one closet, and things were overflowing, so I started putting shoes in the fridge,” says the fashionable 26-year-old, whose wardrobe is heavy on the black and consists mostly of skinny jeans and blazers.
“And then I moved on to my cabinets, where I now store my seasonal clothes — sweaters in the summer, T-shirts in the winter.”
Musacchio is not alone. Once a New York urban legend — like crocodiles in the sewers or the rent-controlled apartment with a view — people who store sweaters in their ovens do actually exist.
