Recipes, Food, and Daily Quests
This is a very big cooking event and introduces the cheapest way to grind cooking to 300 without having to explore all of Azeroth to get the materials yourself. It involves moving between three cities getting cooking ingredients to cook some delicious food. Here are the recipes which all come from the Bountiful Cookbook available at the vendors outside Thunder Bluff, Orgrimmar, and Undercity/Stormwind, Ironforge, and Darnassus along with regional supplies and holiday supplies.
Spice Bread Stuffing
Requires 1 cooking and uses 1x Spice Bread & 1x Autumnal Herbs. It’ll give you a Hit Rating and Stamina buff based on your level.
Pumpkin Pie
Requires 100 cooking and uses 1x Ripe Tirisfal Pumpkin (Horde)/1x Ripe Elwynn Pumpkin (Alliance) and 1x Honey. The pumpkins are available in the Undercity for Horde/Stormwind for Alliance. Gives Spirit and Stamina.
Cranberry Chutney
Requires 160 cooking and uses 1x Tangy Southfury Cranberries (Horde)/1x Tangy Wetland Cranberries (Alliance) and 1x Honey. The cranberries are available in Orgrimmar and Ironforge. Gives Spell Power and Stamina.
Candied Sweet Potato
Requires 220 cooking and uses 1x Mulgore Sweet Potato (Horde)/1x Teldrassil Sweet Potato (Alliance), 1x Autumnal Herbs and 1x Honey. The potatoes are available in Thunder Bluff and Darnassus. Gives Haste Rating and Stamina.
Slow-Roasted Turkey
Requires 280 cooking and uses 1x Wild Turkey, 2x Honey, and 1x Autumnal Herbs. Turkeys are available outside Stormwind/Undercity and can be killed to give 1x Wild Turkey. Gives Attack Power and Stamina.
All of the reagents/food last only during the event, so keep that in mind when you stockpile it. The food is good for leveling, cheap buff food, and for daily quests.
There are a series of cooking quests that breadcrumb you through the daily quests/cooking vendors/recipes. Doing these will also get you enough supplies so you can pickup and do the daily quests without a lot of trouble. I'll give a guide for the Alliance and the Horde. When I say 45-80 Pumpkins, I mean enough for 2x dailies and 5 for the breadcrumb quest. The rest are for leveling purposes (you can gain about 60 points off of each recipe, but it would make 80 just for fun). The breadcrumb quests require you to CREATE the item, so unless you’re on that step do not make the recipe yet. You will need to prepare 5 stuffing/cranberry chutney for one of the later steps so be sure to 5 of each away for then.
Horde
Get the breadcrumb quest from a commoner to find Miles Standish outside of the Undercity. He's going to want 5 Spice Bread Stuffing, but there are also daily quests here for Sweet Potatoes. So we'll pick that up, go to the cooking vendor nearby in the courtyard, and buy a Bountiful Cookbook, a ton of Honey/Spices, and about 45-80. Now, here is what you do. Use the Cookbook to get a ton of recipes. Learn them all, if you're a 280+ cook; otherwise just learn what you can. As we go along you'll want to grind on each recipe if you're not a high level cook. In that scenario BE SURE to buy plenty of supplies in each city. The recipes stay orange for a LONG time so you'll be able to easily grind to 300+ off of them and them alone (along with Spice Bread, a non-seasonal one).
Go outside, to Trisfal Glades, and hunt turkeys for about 50 Wild Turkey. That’s enough for two days of daily quests and the other quests. Plus leveling!
Now, make 25 Spice Bread and 25 Spice Bread Stuffing. Turn in the Stuffing quest and get the Pumpkin Pie quest. Hearth to Dalaran/take a zeppelin/whatever and get to Orgrimmar. Now, here you'll have a daily for 20 Stuffing (done!) and another for Turkey, which you can complete if you're a 280 cook. If not, you'll need to return later. Turn in the pie quest and get one for cranberries. Now, purchase 50-85 Cranberries and make the Cranberry Chutney. Save 5 for later.
