3rd meaning

3 (arte) cookery; la cocina vasca Basque cuisine o cookery; libro de cocina cookbook, cookery book (BrE); curso de cocina
cookery course

I know it says \"cookery\" also; but, I think \"cuisine\" sounds much better.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Intergraf : And I believe you believe wrong. ;-) The context is "la cultura del diseño" and has nothing to do with cookery. Take a gander at "la cocina de la industria" via el excelso Google...

back-office operations / internal operations

Look at these pages for this particular use of the phrase:

"La cocina de la industria de cine uruguayo se encuentra en gravísimo estado, por no decir que es prácticamente inexistente".
http://www.fotograma.com/notas/reviews/1044.shtml

"... una pequeña puerta con talla de mascota para todos aquellos artistas que se quieren arrodillar y entrar a pelearse las sobras que quedan en la cocina de la industria estadounidense de la música".
http://www.bitniks.es/ARCHIVO/MUSICA/35/imprimir.shtml

"Datitos, 'perlas' y chimentos sobre la cocina de la industria también formarán parte del envío, por ejemplo, cuánto gastan las súper producciones en pequeñas cosas como té, azúcar, agua y... papel higiénico".
http://old.clarin.com/diario/2004/01/09/c-00201.htm


And here's this definition from Merriam-Webster:

back-office.
Main Entry: back-office
Function: adjective
: of or relating to the inner workings of a business or institution : INTERNAL <back-office operations>
