[quote=Anonymous]DP here.  We are Indian-Americans and love our delicious spice and herbs infused foods.  No, not just curry, but we use herbs, spices, condiments, garlic, fennel, onions, leeks, ginger, galangal etc for all the cuisines that we make - Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Korean, Middle Eastern etc.

We do the following to get rid of smells and smoke -
1) We have a hood over the cooking range that vents outside the house. We wash the filters pretty regularly
2) We also open the kitchen window and  use two powerful vornado fans to vent outside.  The hood also vents on the same side of the house, so we make sure that we are not pulling that back in the house.  On the opposite side of the house, we open the windows to create some cross ventilation.
3) we close all doors on all levels to prevent the smell from travelling. 
4) We shut down the HVAC to prevent the smell from circulating when we are cooking. 
5) We makes sure that our jackets etc are stowed in the coat closet and the door is closed to prevent the smell permeating into clothes and outerwear. 
6) We have a UV light in our HVAC and heavy duty filters and it basically removes all smells.

We cook a lot and every day and there is no smell of curry or anything else in our home. Having a seperate closed off kitchen will not change anything if you have the same HVAC system circulating air in the whole house. [/quote]
