Food E-Zine (2026 Update)

This is quite supremely off topic, but at least it gives me a chance to ask a question that's been niggling me for months now: What on earth does "Cooking up a storm" mean?

It's used in every local paper and daytime TV show [1] as soon as anyone mentions food preparation. Is it an American thing? Does it mean something to Americans that is lost on me as a Briton?
