Morphology
The meaning 'the practice or skill of preparing and presenting food' is directly derivable from combining 'culinary' (relating to cooking) with 'art' (a learned skill), so the composite sense is compositional and transparent. This adjectival + noun combination is common cross-linguistically (e.g., Spanish 'arte culinario', French 'art culinaire') and follows predictable English patterns, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will understand it.
Etymology
The term culinary art comes from combining culinary, about the 'kitchen', and art, about 'skill and beauty'. Imagine a cook arranging food like a small painting, and that is why it means 'the skill of preparing, cooking, and presenting food'.
