This summertime event can trigger when you press the A Button while next to your kitchen inside of your farm house as though you were going to cook a recipe. You'll hear a knock on your door, and a group of visitors will walk in. If you're playing as the girl hero, you'll see the girl marriage candidates. If you're playing as the boy hero, you'll see the boy marriage candidates. The special marriage candidates don't participate in this event.
Your house guests are interested in your cooking expertises! They've stopped by for a tasty meal prepared by Chef You. If you agree to feed them, they'll all head over to sit at your table and wait for you to take their order. Talk to each of the marriage candidates to hear one of five dishes that they'd like to eat; the dish they request will be randomly selected from the lists below. After learning of their dish preference, head over to your kitchen to cook the dish. You don't have to cook the meal as fresh. You can also give the requested dish if you happen to have it already in your refrigerator.

For each request, give the cooked dish to the requested visitor to earn +10 FP with that person. The visitor won't accept any other dish than the one they've requested, so no substitutions allowed.
If you CANNOT make the meal the guest is requesting (don't know the recipe, not enough stored ingredients, etc.), talk to the person again to tell them that you can't cook their meal. Your guest may apologize for their unexpected visit and then everyone will leave your house, even if you haven't given the other guests their dishes yet. Basically, cook and give the requested dishes that you CAN make before telling your impossible guest that you can't make their requested meal.
(This event was not included in the original GBA game, Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town, but was added in the girl version of the same game, Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town. Now this event is available for boy girl and boy protagonists in the Switch remake. Also, the original version of the event only had three recipes to select from.)
