WoW Cooking Guide

Cooking is one of the most enjoyable and beneficial professions to do. It usually goes hand-in-hand with Fishing and you can make food that will enhance your stats. Cooking has become so popular that someone actually made a REAL COOKBOOK to make some of the in-game items. Some of these meats you might be able to purchase off the Auction House, if you're interested in making gold for these purchases then it is VITAL THAT YOU CHECK OUT THIS GUIDE

Since patch 2.4 was implemented you can now train up to Artisan Cooking at any trainer available. To get your skill past 300 you will need to see the Master Cooking Trainer that is located in each factions appropriate starting city for the Burning Crusade in Hellfire Peninsula, Honor Hold and Thrallmar.

Apprentice Cooking

Some of the recipes needed to level cooking in this guide do not come off the trainer but are vendor purchased. Right away in this first section to go from 40-75 you will have to purchase Smoked Bear Meat recipe from Andrew Hilbert in the Sepulcher which is located in Silverpine Forest if you are Horde. If you are Alliance you will be heading to Thelsamar in Loch Modan to see Drac Roughcut.

Journeyman Cooking

In the Journeman Cooking section there are two paths, one for horde and one for alliance. This goes from about 90-175 and continues into the next section.

Dig Rat Stew - This item is a quest reward and is Horde only. The Quest comes from Grub who is located in The Barrens who sits in a tower east of the crossroads near the path.

Cooked Crab Claw - this item can be purchased from Kendor Kabonka at the Pig and Whistle Inn in the Old Town of Stormwind.

Seasoned Wolf Kabob - this item is from an Alliance only Quest from Chef Grual at Darkshire in Duskwood.
