There's a saying that we use to denounce someone that is "helping" in the kitchen -
"Too many cooks in the kitchen ..." (it has a couple of different endings). The saying isn't just used in the kitchen, by the way. It has to do with 'too many bosses'.

I can't think of a specific word for someone who enters the kitchen and adds things to the food without the cook's consent. I've heard things like, "My husband is always 'helping' in the kitchen," spoken with a degree of sarcasm. This always means that it was unwanted help.

These may also be used, with the same tone of sarcasm, to mean that there are too many cooks in the kitchen:

'the kitchen help'
'the little chef'
'the helper'
'the taste-tester'

Oh really?, i called "cocinillas" to a Man that enjoys and aceptably performs doméstic tasks socially seen as women work. That is to say, a man that enjoys cooking and is a good enough cook to Master a few recipes.

Cocinillas could be called sacarticly to somebody that doesn 't really do Well on the kitchen but tries to unusefully help or even says he can do some of the tasks while he performs them badly
