Hello, I'd like to ask you whether there is a phrase in English (British or American) "American kitchen". Here in Hungary American kitchen is used for a room which is a kitchen and a living room together. If there isn't, what is this kind of room called?

As a poorly-traveled American, of course, I have never heard of an 'American kitchen'.  If the kitchen were combined with the living room, the tenant would likely be living in nothing more than a studio apartment, but housing which combines kitchen and dining room is common enough, and this is often called a dining kitchen or dining/kitchen.
