Luxury Hotel
Der Küchenchef ***erkochte*** sich bereits im Alter von 26 Jahren mit seinem eigenen Restaurant "XXX" einen Michelin Stern.
What would be the Engish equivalent of this term, or could I simply substitute it with "kochen"? This is for a luxury hotel and the article stresses that their new chef has added another dimension of indulgence to their concept of luxury. Thanks in advance!

cooked his way to
You can't really look at "erkochen" on its own. I'd say that the sentence here means:
The chef already cooked his way/managed to cook his way to a Michelin star by the age of 26 ...
The chef already cooked his way/managed to cook his way to a Michelin star by the age of 26 ...
