“I’m good in cooking” vs. “I’m good at cooking”

Many English learners say, “I’m good in cooking,” but this is incorrect. The right preposition to use with “good” is “at,” not “in.”

The correct sentence is:

I’m good at cooking.

Always remember, when talking about a skill or something you’re good at, you should say “good at,” not “good in.”
