This WoW Cooking Guide details the most efficient method of leveling Cooking from levels 1 to 600 in the

World of Warcraft. Cooking is a secondary profession, which means learning to cook wont limit what other professions you train your character in. It complements the Fishing profession very well, as most fish can be cooked. Cooking can also increase the beneficial effects gained from eating food, and can provide a modest gold income. My guides for training Fishing and Cooking from 1 to 450 together are here: Alliance Cooking and Fishing Guide or Horde Cooking and Fishing Guide. Updated for WoW patch 5.0.5 This guide focuses on making the training path easier by using recipes that can be learned from Cooking trainers or recipes with the most easily obtained ingredients. No fishing is required for this guide.

If a specific trainer or supplier isnt mentioned for a recipe then it means that that recipe should be commonly available from most Cooking trainers or suppliers.

Cooking Trainers Cooking Apprentice Levels (1-75) Cooking Journeyman Levels (76-150) Cooking Expert Levels (151-225) Cooking Artisan Levels (226-300) Cooking Master Levels (301-375) Cooking Grand Master Levels (376-450) Cooking Illustrious Levels (451-525) Cooking Zen Master Levels (526-600) Cooking requires 3 components: food, a recipe and a fire. Food can be purchased from vendors, looted from beasts that have been killed or caught through fishing. Recipes are available to purchase from Cooking trainers and vendors or as quest rewards. You must be standing near an open fire in order to cook something. Cooking trainers usually have an open fire near to them and you can also create your own by selecting the Basic Campfire from the General page of your spell book.
