Kosher refers to the dietary laws of observant jews (which foods are permissable, and which not permissable -- also how something should be killed, and prepared for eating). A kosher kitchen refers to the fact that the food preparation areas are in line with those laws.
For example, Kosher requires that meat and dairy products be kept totally apart. So in a Kosher home, you will find two kitchens (one for meats and another for dairy). You will also find seperate preparation utensils, as well as dinnerware, etc.

To the best of my knowledge, kosher means prepared according to the kosher laws in the Torah, which explains which foods are clean or unclean, how to prepare food, etc. In order to be a clean meat the animal it comes from has to both have a cloven hoof and chew cud (like a cow). So beef, if prepared properly, is kosher. And scavengers (like lobster) are unclean. So lobster thermidore would not be kosher.

It means clean...all Jewish people's food have to be prepared in a special way which will make it kosher!! And then also a kosher kitchen is just separating certain foodstuffs from other kinds!! But I can't be for sure coz I'm not Jewish!!

Jack's answer is very good and explains the principles of Kosher very well ... additionally you should consider that all religions have some sort of ritualised dictation on food - the type, the preparation, the serving and so on ... for Muslims the same idea goes by another name 'Halal' which follows their rules about food in the same way as the Jewish faith's Kosher.

If you had just asked me I would have said in general terms it means its alright. I know the real term relates to Jewish dietry laws but I looked it up onWikipedia and it confirmed the dietry laws but added this:
The word kosher has been borrowed by many languages, including English. In its strictest meaning it means only "suitable according to Jewish law", but as slang it generally means legitimate, acceptable, permissible, genuine or authentic in a broader sense.
