Sorry, but I think the definition is a bit short.
Cocina can also mean cuisine, the types of food cooked in any given country, region, etc., not just the room in a house where you prepare food. e.g. La cocina mediterránea es muy saludable. La cocina japonesa utiliza mucho pescado crudo. |

One import that my students (Spanish) used to find amusing was "alfresco" painting. Not sure if it came into English via Spanish or Italian, though. |

You have to remember that French is integrated into English in two ways; first, the proximity and parallel histories of France and England, as well as heavy French colonization of the Americas. It's not that English speakers say "Hey, we want to sound fancy, lets use a French word!" It's been built in by the mingling of cultures.

@Crotalito:
Cocina = "kitchen" cuando hablas de la parte de la casa. Cocina = "cuisine" cuando se refiere al estilo de preparar recetas. "Estoy en la cocina" -- "I'm in the kitchen" "Compré un libro de cocina china" -- "I bought a book of Chinese cuisine"
