I came across a new word while reading Newspaper – chow-wow. This context is a Cooking Fiesta workshop happening in the city.
Excerpt from the Newspaper:
. . . . . "Well, you'll just have to invite me
over for dinner so I can check if you're as good as you claim to be!"
piped chef Nikhil in jest, much in keeping with the chow-wow of
the event.
What does chow-wow mean here?

Chow-wow is not a real English word, but it is a portmanteau based on the words pow-wow and chow. UrbanDictionary says chow-wow is:
A pow-wow is a "meeting or conference", and chow is an informal word for "food". So a chow-wow is a meeting at which there is food. This makes sense in your context--the speaker is talking about being invited over to taste someone's food, so it is a literal meeting at which eating is a big part.
