The Cooking Contest happens on the 6th of Spring. Since it requires you to cook the best dish that you can, it’s not recommended to host it on year one due to limited resources.
Still, on year two and beyond, you should definitely host it. The Cooking Contest is one of the easiest festivals to win. You just need to prepare good food beforehand.

Winning first place will net you nice Cooking Breads, rare food, rare equipment, a status leveler, and 150 SEED points. Second and third place won’t get you as much, but the rewards are still worth it.
