From Beer-Basted Boar Ribs to Giant Clam Scorcho, there are no odd recipes to that of a WOW Chef! Food can be used to not only heal yourself or others, but also provide a bonus with it. As you travel through the world, you may receive various pieces of meats which instead of being sold to merchants can be used to create food. Sure you can buy food from merchants but the food gained through cooking is nearly free and much more effective. Its also a much more entertaining skill when you cook up odd or peculiar items for other people. Fishing is a great skill to go along with cooking because everything you fish up can usually be used to make food. Learning new recipes can be learned from trainers or through new recipes found through Azeroth.
