Teacher Re: make Yes. There are other possible words but "make" is fine when talking about cooking.

Teacher Re: make 
... for the use of 'make' that means 'cook' or 'prepare'.
When, without further context, I saw the expression 'making lunch' I thought of a sentence such as 'I tried to make lunch, but the traffic was so bad that they were paying the bill by the time I arrived.'
