Default Wiring All Kitchen Lights on One Circuit?

Usually there is a light in the range hood as well, if it comes to that.
What hasn't been mentioned yet is there is a maximum number of drops
permitted on a circuit. I believe it is 12 but I'll be quickly corrected if
I'm wrong. So provided that your ~7 cans and bunch of cabinet lights = 12 or
less, you're fine with the one line.

and there's always a flashlight.

And in a dark kitchen w/ hot stuff on a stove or similar, fumbling
around in the dark to find it can be sorta' risky when it's easy enough
to ensure the situation is protected against...

Folks...thanks for the tips and feedback. In my case, the chandelier
in the connected dining room in one direction and hall lights in the
other would give plenty of light during a circuit trip. They are on a
different line.
