Yes, it could be. If it combines the art of cooking with a story that unfolds over time, it might be very engaging. For example, it could tell the story of a chef who overcomes various challenges in different periods of his life while also sharing delicious recipes.
I'm not sure. It depends on how well the elements are integrated. If it's just about cooking and the 'matter of time' aspect is forced in, it might not be that great. But if it uses the passage of time to develop the cooking skills of the characters or the evolution of a cuisine, it could be a great read.
Well, without having read it specifically, it has the potential to be a good cook novel. If it can make the readers feel the passage of time in relation to the cooking processes, like how long it takes to master a certain dish or how a family recipe changes over generations (a matter of time), then it can be really interesting.
