WoW Cooking Guide

For those of you who need to know what cooking is and how it works in WoW here is a quick summary + To Lvl to 450 on page 2 here -> World Of Warcraft Cooking Guide.

Cooking is a secondary skill and comes in very handy as it can be performed by any class/race and generally used to restore health. Melee classes with no healing abilities need to buy food and eat it after combat to restore their health. Healers also require food to restore their low health or when mana is running abit low. Out of fighting you can cook to restore your health quicker before going into battle again. Meat or eggs for example that you come across or any fish (if you have fishing)that you catch can be cooked and eaten to restore health points or create a special long lasting buff that maybe you need before doing a raid.

 Cooking and fishing go hand in hand and to level up easier in cooking, fishing is highly recommended. You will thereby be leveling up your cooking and fishing skill together.
 
What is needed to cook? Basically you need to be able to make fire (flint & Tinder & wood) get trained to cook by a NPC trainer & recipes and ingrediants like spices can be bought at the auction house or gained from visiting certain players in-game. A good amount of Gold can be made as well from selling your cooked recipes to players that require the food or maybe the buff that the recipe gives them. So start slaving away in front of that fire to make some gold okay. But this is not the best way to make gold, the best methods are discussed here.(hyper to gold guide)

In the past cooking was not that popular but the demand for it has definately grown since the Burning Crusade expansion opened up many more opportunities related to cooking.

With regards to aquiring new recipes...

Maybe ask some friends to be on the lookout for some recipes for you. You may gain a recipe as a reward for a quest or maybe from a monster or chest, or just buy them from a merchant.
Remeber to have a look at the auction house for recipes too. If you need gold click here.

Some important info...

2 New recipes you might be interested in to level up your cooking skill to 300 without fishing are Charred Bear Kabobs and Juicy Bear Burgers. These recipes can be purchased from Bale (Horde) or Malygen (Alliance) in Felwood.
