What could possibly make more sense? Your good friend has a fire outside his tent. You have some food you want to cook. Two plus two equals Bob's Your Uncle!
And then you can share said food with Linus! But yeah it be nice since Emily let's you use the sewing machine so Linus letting you cook on his campfire is definitely a good idea.
Cooking food in the early game is a bit of a challenge/headache. Making friends makes your life a bit easier? What could be more obvious in a cozy game?
