Cooking 

When someone or something is just starting to get a rhythm or feel for something they do or say, they are cooking.

Don't get this term mixed up with serve, you serve someone after you have been cooking

Bro 1: Bro, this definition is nice, this dude has been cooking this definition up

Bro 2: Fr bro this dude just served us a whole definition, even my kids can eat after this one.

Cooking

Nowadays, if people say someone is "cooking", they usually don't mean actual cooking.

In modern day slang, when doing something exceptionally well, it means "cooking"; creating something impressive means "cooking", being in the middle of a successful streak of ideas or actions it also means "cooking".

Examples:
• "Let him cook." → he's knows what he's doing.
• "Bro is cooking" → Bro is coming up with something clever, impressive, he's on 🔥.

• "Who let him cook?" → rare, but usually sarcastic; what he did turned out badly.

The term became popular online through gaming, sports, memes, and social media. Based on the idea that a chef is preparing something great, so metaphorically when a person is "cooking", they're creating, planning, or executing something really well.

More examples (in context):
• A basketball player scores 20 points in a quarter: "oh shiiiiit, he's cooking!"
• Someone has a brilliant business idea: "Let him cook."
• A friend makes a terrible decision or does a bad thing: "on god, who let bro cook?🤦 ♂️"

Cooking Date 

A great way if you don’t have a lot of money or your budget doesn’t allow you to do things on a grand scale for your date. A cooking date makes you more creative when upping your romance game. Its cooking with seduction mixed in. Basically making your cooking game hot and sexy. Kissing and nibbling in the kitchen whether it’s on the back of the neck or on the lips. All done while chopping, cutting, stirring , rinsing, straining or
tasting food can lead to touching which can ultimately lead to another kind of cooking.

I had a date with Tangi last night.

So how did your cooking date go?

It didn’t because not everyone you meet is cooking date material or worthy.

cooking in the stew 

"Cooking in the Stew" is a saying used when someone is acting foolish, boisterous, or if they're just acting out for no good reason.

Person 1: Why is (insert name here) acting so off today?
Person 2: I'm not sure, I think they're just cooking in the stew.
