I just got a new house (!) and I no longer have a living room adjacent to the kitchen, so I can't hear the stereo (at reasonable volumes) while I'm cooking. I was thinking about getting a Homepod mini to easily listen to music, podcasts, internet radio, etc. while cooking. Is that the best choice for my use case or are there better options I should look at?

I don't know, but if you can, listen to one before you buy it. Try a time when there isn't a lot of people in the store. I mean, it's a speaker, sound is the most important feature.
