No, not in the example you gave. Cooking can be a gerund, which is a kind of noun (Cooking is a lot of fun); or it can part of the verb "to cook"-- he is cooking dinner tonight. But in order for any word to be the object of a preposition, you first need a preposition. These are words like of, in, to, at, with. "I will see you in the morning"-- the noun 'morning' is the object of the preposition "in." It might be possible, but it would not be easy to make a prepositional phrase using the word "cooking." There are many other nouns that could be used in such a phrase -- in the house, at the school, with the team, etc.
