Depends on the dish. Making a homemade pizza. One person rolling out the homemade dough, another person chopping up toppings, and everyone gets to decorate their own pizza I think is a blast.
If I work well with the person (they chop veggies while I mix up something) then I enjoy that too, but if we start to get in each other's way it gets frusterating and I'll be the first to bail out of the kitchen and go to mixing drinks, or ask the "helper" to help with setting the table.
Maybe too much of my mom rubbed off on me. If she's in the kitchen cooking, you stay the hell away. Offer to set the table before or afterwards offer to clean, but clear the area if she's cooking.
