If you have 110 VAC power at your kitchen counter

Much of what you could do in the tiny kitchen would hinge on power for small electric appliances.

An electric skillet could be a major component of the tiny kitchen for it's versatility as you can both cook and bake with them. Even use bake ware such as a muffin tin or cake pan.

An immersion blender, a small 1 1/2 cup food processor, hand mixer, and an electric single or double burner would be a start for power appliances, Other manual devices could include a can opener, spatulas, stirring spoons, measuring cups & spoons, kitchen scissors, mixing bowls, a tea kettle, and a few saucepans. A coffee pot would be an option to one's preference. There will be need for some containers for flour, sugar, coffee, and other kitchen essentials like corn starch, salt, meal, oats, rice, bread, liquids such as vinegar & sauces, etc. This would be just a start for basic cooking in a tiny home. Food cold storage would require a small dormitory refrigerator that could keep milk, juice, butter, meats, cheese, and vegetables that would require refrigeration Canned or boxed goods would only need a bit of space.

It may be worth having a shopping list app on one's cell as a thin food inventory in the kitchen may require more frequent trips to the grocery store. At least this is how I would approach setting up a new tiny home kitchen.
 
What do you think about an AC off a battery cell that can be charged by a wall plug or solar? And use the small Dash cooking appliances. This would probably be for a one-person tiny home.
 
Dash has a lot of solutions available. I'm not sure of the watts that they draw. But insofar as being "small" devices they could be handy for a one person kitchen. As for the battery bank with solar I'd see that as the heart of the power solution for an off grid tiny home . (yet I'd still see gas heat or a diesel heater the solution for heat)

I have seen reviews of diesel heaters on Youtube where the heater is also able to heat water. Which would be a consideration for a hot shower and dish washing.

One of my camping electric appliances is a "MyMini" 7 inch electric skillet.

As for the diesel air/hot water heater:
