This expression alludes to each of many cooks adding something to a soup, which finally tastes awful. If too many people participate in a task, the task will not be done very well. You use this proverb to say that if too many people do the same thing (job, project,, etc.), it will not be done well. Sometimes people just say, “Too many cooks. " Another proverb “There is safety in numbers" expresses the opposite idea.
