Promotional materials and the post-credits scene of the pilot suggest that Food for the Soul episode 2 will explore Mako's development as she deals with her disappointment regarding the club's relaxed attitude.

It will likely feature Mako stepping out of her comfort zone to encourage her friends to pursue substantial food-related activities beyond mere "passing time" as Shinon mentioned. The dynamic between Mako's deep passion for culinary discovery and her friends' relaxed view of the club will be the main force driving the episode's story.

Food for the Soul episode 2 is titled I Might Want To Cook. The next installment will see Mako and her other clubmates clean their clubroom as a first duty after forming the Food Culture Research Club. After cleaning, everyone leaves.

The next day, everyone brings some stuff which they consider 'appropiate' for club activities. Other than Mako, who brought a kettle, everyone else brought things that will help them slack. However, this might backfire as the student council will arrive to check on them, and if a club isn't doing any work, it will be immediately disbanded.
