Yes, I was specifically referring to guests, not roommates. I don't have issues with roommates doing batch cooking at all.

I never had other house guests cooking anything major. Especially in batches. I mean make cup of coffee and fry an egg. Do you have house guests cooking lots in your houses? In batches?

Your roommates rules are reasonable. For me excessive noise is unacceptable and of course smoking inside. And I am clean freak so no mess is tolerated.
One roommate had his girlfriend over for the week. She decided to cook enormous amounts of food to take home with her. This certainly wasn't dinner or any other small meal. If it was I wouldn't have cared. This was hardcore cooking that involved use of the entire kitchen and went on for 4 or 5 hours a day.

The guest seemed unaware that she was in the way and disruptive to others who needed to use the kitchen. Plus she packed the entire fridge and freezer with her groceries and plastic food containers with no respect for the other tenant. She even filled two big 45 L garbage bags with her garbage in 3 days. The two tenants normally filled one bag in 7 days.

The lady had her own place. Why couldn't she have done this at her place? I don't know. Maybe there was a conflict with her roommate about kitchen use.

Kitchens and cooking seem to cause a lot of conflict.
