emorata,
for a more definitive answer, you can simply call the Planning Dept. and ask a planner your question. They are really very helpful there. It's the Building Dept that gives me a headache.
The use you describe for outdoor entertaining sounds completely acceptable in that it doesn't violate the spirit of the Zoning, although putting in a full stove instead of using BBQ or grill might be questionable.
The spirit of the zoning is pretty straightforward -- does your outdoor kitchen function to make the guest rooms practical as separate dwelling units independent of the main house?
