For this, you’ll have to talk to the Head Chef, located in Garreg Mach Monastery’s dining hall. You’ll be able to do so whenever you choose the option to Explore during a free day from your calendar.
In order to unlock said activity, you’ll have to make progress through the story until at least Chapter 2.
Bear in mind that doing this will take one Activity Point from your free day, so make sure to plan your full schedule ahead as with any other activity. The best part is that the effects will last for a full month, so it’s not mandatory to repeat it in every possible occasion.
Cooking Together: How It Works
This is a relatively easy activity in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and it’s worth investing some time in it. Once it unlocks, a new marker will show up in the dining hall where you’ll be able to access a list of recipes and characters.
It’s similar to sharing a meal with two other students, only that in here only one can be chosen at a time. Make sure to keep an eye on the arrows at the side of each student, which can either point up in a light blue color or down in red. This will affect the support points you can gather from each interaction.
Then, you get to choose what kind of food you want to make, although you’ll need to have the required ingredients first. These can be obtained as reward from side quests in the Monastery, caught during the fishing minigame, and also from gardening.
You’ll probably have a lot of ingredients laying around at this point, so always make sure to put them to good use whenever you have the chance.
