That said, smoke detectors should not be placed in a kitchen as, invariably, they will go off when cooking.

Detectors should be both outside and inside the doorways to the bedrooms as a fire when the occupants are sleeping poses the greatest danger. When you are in the kitchen and cooking, there is little risk.

I'm assuming that you have a detector in or near the kitchen that's the problem. If so, I'd just disconnect it. If that somehow disrupts the circuit of connected detectors, I'd try covering the vent holes in the cover of the detector with tape, shutting off the flow of air to the internal chambers of the detector.
Um, "just disconnect it" does not seem like good advice to me.
