Do you like cooking? == Do you enjoy cooking? Are you like cooking? == Do you resemble cooking? (which doesn't make much sense) Example: Do you like Yuri? == Do you enjoy Yuri (as a friend, as a coworker, etc.)? Are you like Yuri? == Do you look like Yuri, act like Yuri, or do you and Yuri share similar characteristics?

Hey Yuliya, ''Do you like cooking?'' = in this case ''do'' functions as an auxiliary verb to form the question. As for ''are you like cooking?'', I may say that this is not standard English, only if you wish to ask a person if they resemble cooking (which does not make any sense at all!). However, you might want to use ''into'' as an informal word to ask if a person likes / enjoys cooking, as follows: ''Are you into cooking''? Other examples: ''Are you into basketball?'' ''She is very into yoga.'' ''Do you like traveling?'' ''Are you into classic music?'' Hope that helps!!!

The 2nd one is not correct.

привет Yuliya, "Do you like cooking?" is a correct question in English. However, "Are you like cooking?" is not correct and does not mean anything in English. "to like" is a verb that can be followed by a verb in the infinitive form and by a gerund. When it is followed by a gerund, it expresses a liking or a disliking. For example: "I like cooking" or "I like getting up early." When it is followed by a verb in the infinitive form, it expresses a habitual preference, something that we do not necessarily like or enjoy but consider as useful to do. For example: "I like to cook" or "I like to read a book before going to bed." I hope my explanation was clear and easy enough for you to understand it clearly :-) Feel free to get in touch with me if you need more help with improving your mastery of English. I would be glad to help you. See you soon, Alex

"Do you like cooking?" is a question in standard English to ask whether cooking is an activity that someone enjoys doing. "are you like cooking?" is not standard English. ("are you, like, cooking?" with appropriate inflections is a very, very, very slangy way of asking whether or not a person is preparing food at that moment. Don't use it.)
