All these beautiful, functional kitchens, I am jealous.

Crime scene tape works too.
Electric fence and a stun gun too.

Unfortunately that doesn't work. I have a peninsula and people still seem to want to congregate in my kitchen work area.Today I learned that I need a peninsula to keep people out of the kitchen...

I start off by throwing out hints, like "Excuse me, can I get around you?" When all else fails, I've found that the best way to handle it is to say in a loud and clear voice, "I need people to clear out of the kitchen.... NOW PLEASE".
It's not subtle, but I guarantee it's effective.

I like it.If people stray into my work area, I hold up my knife and say, "I'm used to working alone in here and tend to walk around with it in my hand. You'd be safer over THERE!"
Works for me!

LOL, is this more friendly than an electric fence and a cattle prod?
Lots of great ideas, thinking the electric fence is a good idea...
Maybe a more elegant solution would be an invisible fence system, I could just fit guests with a collar when they enter, they'll look silly but I won't have an unsightly fence blocking my kitchen doors.
