[WotLK] Cooking Guide 1 - 450

From [Beer Basted Boar Ribs] to [Giant Clam Scorcho], there is no recipe too obscure or odd to attract notice from the chefs of Azeroth. Food is used in the game to heal players out of combat so that they are able to get back to fighting as quickly as possible.As you are traveling around the world, you will notice that you often receive pieces of meat which, instead of being sold to merchants, could be used to create food. If you are a player who relies on food, such as a non-healing player or a player who solos, cooking will be very important to you.You can buy food from merchants, but the food gained through cooking is nearly free and it is actually much more effective. Additionally, even if you don't eat it, cooked meat is still worth more than raw meat when resold. Cooking is also a great "flavor" secondary skill because you can entertain players with the funny and interesting dishes you can create. Hand someone a portion of [Dragonbreath Chili], a [Savory Deviate Delight], or some [Stormchops] and you'll see what we mean.Additionally, certain cooked foods have a 15-minute, 30-minute, or 60-minute Well Fed buff effect in addition to the immediate health boost all foods have. (Know you're going in to battle and have a few minutes? Eat that [Herb Baked Egg] first and gain 2 Spirit and 2 Stamina for 15 minutes. +2 stamina equates to 20 health points and +2 spirit makes you get health and mana back quicker.) A list of recipes and the buffs they give can be found under Well Fed. In the Burning Crusade, cooking is improved for other classes as there are buffs such as increased agility, spell damage, healing, etc. A "treat" can also be given to a Hunter pet or a Warlock minion.First, visit any trainer in the main cities of old Azeroth - just ask a guard, and learn Apprentice Cooking.If it's November, you might want to check out Pilgrim's Bounty cooking leveling guide (I'll post this soon). You can level cooking to 350 in about an hour.If you won't level cooking to 400 in one day, scroll down to the daily cooking quests part at 400. You will have to complete a few daily quests if you want to level cooking to 450, and it will be faster to level cooking if you start doing the quests sooner.

Learn Journeyman Cooking
  • 80 - 130 [Alliance - recommended] - Go to the Twilight Shore in Darkshore and farm Encrusted Tide Crawlers and other sea creatures, this is the recommended method for alliance players who have the Cooked Crab Claw recipe. - You can also go to Ashenvale and head to the Zoram Strand, where the sea is (north-west) and kill all kinds of sea creatures there. [Boiled Clams] - 1 Clam Meat, 1 Refreshing Spring Water - clam meat can be found in [Small Barnacled Clam] [Crab Cake] - 1 Crawler Meat - Cook around 30 Calms first because the recipe turns green at 110 and then cook Crawler Meats up to 130. - Alliance players can buy the following recipe because the Crawlers drop Crawler Claws. (kind of obvious).[Cooked Crab Claw] - Recipe sold by these vendors
  • 80 - 90 [Horde - recommended]
    30 x [Smoked Bear Meat] - 30 x Bear Meat - The recipe sold by Andrew Hilbert in Silverpine Forest and  Ferocious Grizzled BearGiant Grizzled Bear just around.
  • 90 - 130 [Horde - recommended]
    - Accept the quest: Dig Rat Stew from Grub in The Barrens
    - Go kill Dig Rats and collect them until you have 48. (8 for the quest, 40 for leveling) Optional: If you don’t want to do the quest, and you are a higher level you are now able to just purchase this recipe from him. After you purchase it just collect 40x Dig Rats instead of 48. 40 x [Dig Rat Stew] - 40 x Dig Rat
And don't forget to learn Expert Cooking at 125

  • 225 - 250 
    25 x [Monster Omelet] - 25 Giant Egg - Recipe sold by these vendors
  • 250 - 285
    40 x [Juicy Bear Burger] - 40 [Bear Flank] - Recipe Sold by these vendors- There is another really good recipe for the 275-300 part, but you have to run one Dire Maul east. The recipe is dropped by Pusillin and it's called [Recipe: Runn Tum Tuber Surprise]. - When you enter the instance, you can find Pusillin at the entrance, he is on the left side, then you just have to go and talk to him then follow him and talk to him again as soon as you catch up to him. At the end the imp will become hostile and you can kill him (Finally! Annoying little bastard!). - You can solo this instance if you are around level 70, but it's a lot easier for higher levels. The recipe binds when picked up, this means it's a bit harder to get it with a group at low level, I would not recommend it to get a group of low levels just for this one recipe, you can level Cooking faster with the other recipes. - The recipe uses [Runn Tum Tuber] as material, you can find these in [Warpwood Pods], they are all around in the instance (read the first comments on wowhead). I could get 25 of them in one run, which is enough to level Cooking to 300 with this one recipe.
  • I must also mention that you could use this recipe to level up your Cooking to 325, just make a few more instance runs. This way you won't have to do the quests at the next part.
  • 285 - 300 
    15 x [Smoked Desert Dumplings] - 15 [Sandworm Meat] 
    You have to complete two quests to get this cooking recipe.
    1. Desert Recipe
    2. Sharing the Knowledge

Master 300 - 350

Learn Cooking Master

Grand Master 350 - 450

Visit your trainer and learn Grand Master Cooking. 
  • 350 - 365
    - Get the Northern Cooking quest at Northrend and complete it. It requires 4 Chilled Meat. Completing this quest will teach you how to create [Northern Stew] - If you click on the link above and scroll down, you will see all the quest givers that gives you the Northern Cooking quest. For both Horde and Alliance.
    20 x [Northern Stew] - 20 Chilled Meat
  • 365 - 375
    - The Cooking trainer will teach you a lot of recipes, all of them will turn green at 382 and gray at 415. Any of these recipes are good for skilling up Cooking. I recommend Rhino Dogs if you want to farm the materials. There are a lot of Rhinos around Warsong Hold in Borean Tundra, and they respawn really quickly. - If you want to buy the materials, you should check the prices for Rhino Meat, Worm Meat and Fangtooth Herring. These are usually the cheapest ones.
    13 x [Rhino Dogs] - 13 [Rhino Meat]
And gz to 450, I hope you like this guide and have fun!

  1. As reported by Stanford Medical, It is indeed the ONLY reason this country's women get to live 10 years more and weigh on average 19 KG lighter than us.

    (And really, it is not related to genetics or some secret diet and absolutely EVERYTHING around "HOW" they eat.)

    BTW, I said "HOW", and not "what"...
