I would say don't confuse yourself and Google by lumping totally unrelated niches into one site. You don't want to have a site talking about sports and spirituality at the same time.
Asides that, you'd be fine especially if you add food content and interlink them.

I recommend to have three to five categories, as it provides enough variety without becoming too difficult to maintain.

It is not sufficient if the niche of the blog is too broad.

No, just don't add them to the menu bar until they have content in them. This is especially true if you applying for adsense. It's nearly a gurenteed automated rejection if you've got an empty category on your menu bar.

No, it's not harmful, maintain it relevant to the site topic and don't confuse users. Make it user-friendly with suitable content to keep users engaged.

Not harmful as long as you are going to put unique content only.
But if you are going to use multiple categories for same post, then there will be issue of duplicate content .

Having 5 categories is not at all a risky one. If you want to add many categories ensure you produce unique content.
