Talking about no space:
I've seen my grandmother put on a noon-time 'dinner' for the thrashing crew
with nothing more than an Amish table in the kitchen and a saw-horse type of
table in the screened-in porch area. Looking back, where did she prepare it?
There was a wood stove, certainly not prepped on that 'smooth top.'

There were no counter-tops, period, and only a small in-the-corner cupboard
and a lonely shelf to keep coffee and a coffee can for bacon grease.
