You can. Something can be "hot" in a vacuum. For example: a sealed thermometer in space will read hot if it was facing the sun, but very cold if it was in full shadow (assuming it didn't explode from the absence of pressure holding it together.) So yes, as long as the heat source did not require naturally occurring oxygen for combustion as the moon doesn't have any - or an atmosphere - and heat transfer was carried out via direct contact with a heating device. For example: An electric element would function the same on the moon as it does on Earth - meaning it would radiate heat and be hot to the touch.a microwave oven would also work fine on the Moon. Of course the same liquid fuels that propel a rocket into space would work on the moon - to replace the (Earth based camping "gas" stove) with a liquid oxygen and hydrogen "burner". Of course the electric element would be a tad safer to operate.

Remember that the surface of the moon during "daylight" is approximately 107 degrees centigrade. So given that day temperature, and a radiant heat source, cooking something on the moon is certainly possible. If you were on the dark side of the moon, then the same principle would apply - fueled or radiant heat source, transfer through contact etc. However on the dark side the temperature falls to below 150 degrees centigrade. So you would need a very strong heat source to overcome that degree of cold. Not to mention that whatever you were cooking (for example: an egg) would freeze on the top while being heated on the bottom. Or, assuming heating was taking place top and bottom, it would freeze as soon as it was removed from the heat source. So possible? Absolutely. Even remotely practical? Nah...

Cooking on the moon is not possible in the traditional sense because there is no atmosphere to conduct heat or carry the smells of food. However, food can be heated using specially designed equipment, such as portable stoves with heating pads or microwave ovens, inside spacecraft or habitats on the moon.
