cookin'
Heat meets ingredients
Cookin' is an informal spelling of cooking, representing the dropped g common in casual speech.
Beyond literal food preparation, it often means performing exceptionally well or operating at peak level: The band was really cookin' last night.
The phrase now we're cookin' signals that things are finally going right or progressing well.
