Why did the kitchen, dining room or nook outlets quit working?
These outlets are protected by a GFCI outlet. When there is a problem with a device plugged into the GFCI outlet, it will trip. To resume power to all the outlets on the circuit press the reset button on the outlet. If the GFCI does not reset, try unplugging all of the items that are plugged into the outlets on that circuit and then reset the GFCI. If this does not activate power, check your electrical panel in the garage. Find the breaker responsible for the area of the house that has no power and reset that breaker.
