Pressure Cooking

A quick simple guide on power leveling cooking. With Pandacraft coming soon and cooking getting some buffs and specialties as well there is no reason for your main (or your alts) NOT to be maxed out. To avoid the rush, level up now.

Besides that cooking is a great way of making gold as you can often sell cooked meats and fish on teh AH for more gold than the cost of the raw materials.

The first part is the shopping list and consists of a the purchased recipes/ingredients needed to hit 525, the ingredients can be bought from the AH or if you're willing to level fishing at the same time you can fish them up yourself. In addition to using this list for leveling your cooking you can also use it to create a list fish to farm so you can sell them to all those lovely pandas when we get the new expansion too. 

I am good to you folks aren't I?
