Thanks, bhaisahab.
I was told that it means to do something with a lot of energy and often skill.
According to this, it means 'to cook an amazing meal'.
I wouldn't say it's widely accepted or slang.

It's a very common expression in the US, and not limited to cooking.
I'm going to hit the clubs and dance up a storm.
I've got 30 people coming for dinner so today I'm going to cook up a storm.
In my opinion it means doing something enthusiastically and energetically. It is not only "cook" but verbs which are also accepted.
