Managed path
If this community matters to your pipeline, scope it like a campaign.
Use Cooking as one signal, not the whole strategy. The plan needs the surrounding communities, posting constraints, and the commercial context for your category.
The directory is informational. Live moderation behavior still decides what gets through.
