Morphology
The meaning 'the ability to prepare and cook food effectively' is directly and compositionally derived from 'cooking' (the process of preparing/heating food) plus 'skill' (capacity gained through practice). This noun+noun combination follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern of combining an activity with 'skill', so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Cooking skill comes from the simple picture of someone learning at the stove: cooking is making food and skill is practice that makes you good. So, 'cooking skill' means you can prepare and cook food well.
