Old Witches' Ways
History
In the beginning of the humankind on Terra, when witches and humans did have some difficulties living together, there wasn't even the idea of a young witch leaving home to go and mix with the humans and hang around them more. Somewhere around 1600 years later that changed when an especially powerful teen witch fell in love with a human and attempting to run away caused a small "war" between her family's side - the witches- and the family and side - of the beloved - the humans. That war was solved when on a literal bridge the teens tied themselves to each other and refused to move in any direction. Seeing this kind of emotional display the witch girl's mother burned down the bridge and placed a road of red and pink tiles in its place.
After that day a new tradition was started - to test the young witch if he/she/they can organize a meeting of the families without using any magic and have it run flawlessly until the families part after the meal - then the two lovebirds can go and be together and be considered completely able to handle the world. They wouldn't be restricted to stay away from their families completely - in fact both sides would have to obligatory visit their families at least once every month and the couple living with one of the families wouldn't be frowned upon.
Components and tools
The tested young witch would have at their disposal whatever products they decide to cook, that they've bought themselves, and a fully equipped kitchen of tools and equipment. They need to make full course meal of appetizer, main course, salad, desserts and after-meal snacks and they also need to provide drinks (potion-making is still not allowed, buying the drinks and serving them in proper mugs is fine. Buying ingredients and mixing a cocktail is also fine).
The real challenge - other than use no magic - is to see how well the tested knows their partner's side of the family - allergies, preferences, likes & all.
