"Cooking" is a metaphor used to describe the process of creating, developing, or theorizing something that shows great potential or skill. When someone asks 'Am I cooking?', they are seeking validation for an idea, a piece of art, or a strategy they are currently working on. It implies that the person is 'in the kitchen' putting together something impressive that isn't quite finished yet. The term is highly positive and is often used to encourage someone who is on the verge of a breakthrough or a 'hot take'.
- Example
-
> Am I cooking or nah with this theory about Superman and Kryptonite?
> Hold on, let him finish his point, I think he might actually be cooking something here.
> I've been cooking in the studio for six hours and this new track is finally sounding right.
