A cooking system comprises a cooking surface on which cooking vessels are to be placed for heating and kitchen appliances are to be placed for powering. There is at least one cooking zone which has an inductive heating system for inductive heating of a cooking vessel at the cooking zone and an appliance zone having a wireless power transfer system for wirelessly powering a kitchen appliance at the appliance zone. There is wireless communication with a kitchen appliance at the appliance zone so that it can be identified when a kitchen appliance is present and the type of kitchen appliance can be identified. The wireless power transfer system is then controlled in dependence on the identified kitchen appliance. Furthermore, information is provided on a display which relates to the identified kitchen appliance. This enables a compact solution which can guide and inform a user throughout the food preparation and the food cooking process. Un système de cuisson comprend une surface de cuisson sur laquelle des récipients de cuisson doivent être placés pour chauffer et des appareils de cuisine doivent être placés pour alimenter. Il existe au moins une zone de cuisson qui comporte un système de chauffage inductif pour le chauffage par induction d'un récipient de cuisson au niveau de la zone de cuisson et une zone d'appareil ayant un système de transfert de puissance sans fil pour alimenter sans fil un appareil de cuisine au niveau de la zone d'appareil. Il existe une communication sans fil avec un appareil de cuisine au niveau de la zone d'appareil de telle sorte qu'il peut être identifié lorsqu'un appareil de cuisine est présent et que le type d'appareil de cuisine peut être identifié. Le système de transfert de puissance sans fil est ensuite commandé en fonction de l'appareil de cuisine identifié. En outre, des informations sont fournies sur un dispositif d'affichage qui se rapporte à l'appareil de cuisine identifié. Ceci permet d'obtenir une solution compacte qui peut guider et informer un utilisateur tout au long de la préparation alimentaire et du processus de cuisson des aliments.
