In the World of Warcraft, Cooking is a great skill to learn, and while it is not utterly needed, it could match well with many other professions, like fishing. Actually, you could earn substantial amounts of gold with cooking skills and you won't have to put so much effort, making it enjoyable for many players to try out. If you want to change the way you play, this skill is very much worth your time.
It was only after the Burning Crusade that a lot more opportunities have opened up, and people became interested in giving this profession a try. This may be another way to earn extra gold because you will be able to make some things that other players may need, and thus, have fun in the process
Starting Out
Once you decide that you want to give cooking a try, you'll need to have fire. This requires the items: Flint and Tinder as well as Simple Wood. These are of course, pretty easy to find, so you shouldn't need to work too hard to get them. Once you have these items, you'll need to open up your Spellbook. All players have the ability to make the Basic Campfire, so you won't need to worry about additional training at this point.
The cookbook can also be found in the Spellbook. Open it up to take a sneak peak at the recipes you may want to try. However, bear in mind that your fire will not last too long. Since wood is needed to start a fire, only do so when you are about to start cooking as not to waste the fire or the wood for that matter. Just choose the suitable ingredients that you will need for each recipe, and find yourself cooking in an instant.
You may also observe that the recipes need some other items in order for them to be completed. For example, look at this recipe for Crocolisk Steak. You will need to shop for one Crocolisk Meat and a set of Mild Spices. These are available from a vendor, or you could just go out to buy your own.
After completing your apprenticeship, you could now start moving forward. In order to even make small but save up, you could buy items you do not have from a cooking trainer. On the other hand, once you move through more quests, you'll get to have easy access to the items your recipes require.
Advancing
When you start out, you won't have a lot of what you need to make more advanced recipes. Here's a quick way to progress in skill from 1 to 375 with very little effort. You'll need to start in Ironforge. Here, you can purchase one flour and one mild spices to make your first recipe of Spiced Bread. This is very simple and will help you advance to 40. Once you've done that, you'll need to get 30 mild spices as well as some more wood. Now, get to Auberdine and find a Moonkin. Keep killing it until you have around 20 eggs or more. This will quickly take you to skill level 60.
After this, you can go down south to Ashenvale where you could find the Crawlers that drop clams. Get as many as you could and afterwards return to Ironforge. Cook up the eggs from the Moonkin and sell them. Next, you would need to look for a cooking trainer to learn more skills and eventually cook the clams you have found. At this point, your skill would have leveled up to to 130. Have with you the expert cookbook and you will surely be on your way to reaching 375. - 15275
