Morphology
culinary = culin + ary
The stem 'culin-' is a Latin combining form (not a standalone English word), so although '-ary' is a regular adjective suffix, learners cannot transparently derive 'connected with cooking' from familiar English bases.
Etymology
Culinary comes from the Latin culina, which means 'kitchen'. Think of it like the English word cuisine, which also means 'style of cooking', so culinary simply means 'connected with cooking'.
