What we do is, we decide who leads - usually it the one who knows the recipe at heart.
The leader assigns tasks and the other does them. Can be stuff like cutting onions, making a sauce and so on. Then the other gets his own corner where they simply do tasks.
We put music we both like as well.
The secret is that all those ideas come from when we had big open kitchens, now most people can’t afford that
As an husband, my wife definitely appreciates it if we cook together. I enjoy it, she enjoys it, and it makes our food more delicious. Plus it’s am exercise in how you work as a team as a family.
My partner is a chemist, and she becomes an absolutely despotic autocrat when we try to cook together.
My girlfriend and I discovered it works well if one of us cooks and the other cleans at the same time
