I have a small kitchen area that has laminated flooring. It was
installed correctly, underpavment, foam and locking strips. The floor
is sturdy to say the least. I am considering covering it up with
locking cork flooring. Not sure if cork flooring is good for a kitchen
area. Anyhow, can I just lay the cork flooring over the existing
laminated floor, without putting another underpavement and foam? I
think underpavement is the right word?

Sure.

Or, you might be able to take up the laminate if it's the kind that just
locks together and not glued.
