All cooking on Friday is ostensibly for a hypothetical unexpected guest 
(or a horde of ravenous bochurim) who might show up right before shkiah. 
  Since we don't know this person's identity in advance, perhaps he will 
not be a chossid, and will eat the gebrokts that have been prepared.  He 
might also be Sefardi, so it seems to me that in EY one may cook 
kitniyos on Shevi'i shel Pesach, to be eaten, if our hypothetical guest 
is a no-show, at the meals of Shabbos Motzo'ei Pesach.
