“cooking” in the context of doing something well has been around for a long time. Think, “now you’re cooking!” Or the less common “now you’re cooking with gas!”
I think it’s just in more frequent use currently. It will be interesting to see if people stop using it after it goes out of fashion with the youth.

Let him cook
Right analogous in some contexts (American sportsball) to “Let him eat”
Does that come from getting paid and therefore being able to feed oneself
Yeah sort of like, “They are performing at a high level and carrying the team, let them get stats (==better contract)”
I personally think cooking will have serious staying power.
Language is freaking fascinating.
