Let him cook
含义: Let someone continue what they're doing because it's going well. Don't interrupt someone who's on a roll.
Let him cook means stepping back and allowing someone to work their magic without interference. It's used when someone is performing well, making good points, or executing a plan effectively. The metaphor compares skillful action to a chef who shouldn't be disturbed while preparing a meal.
