One of the easiest ways to earn money in WoW is using the Cooking Profession. For me, cooking in WoW has always been one of the most satisfying professions. In this guide I expose a few strategies to use with the Cooking Profession to make the most gold possible.

Initially in World of Warcraft you start out in a beginner’s area. In this area you wont be able to start the cooking profession, you can start it when you hit level 5. Until then just knuckle down and try to save some coin to use when you start your cooking trade.

When you’re ready to move out of the starting area, talk to the guard and follow his instructions to the cooking trainer. Your first recipe will be spice bread. If you have the money, buy the ingredient you need from a cooking supplier and make the bread till its green colored.

When questing you’ll notice that you can sometimes find various egg’s, meat’s and other cooking ingredients. I find it useful to keep these because even if I don’t need them right away, they usually come in handy later on and save you a bit of money.

One of the achievements in WoW is the number of recipes you know how to cook. To make this easier, always make sure you check when talking to NPC’s to see if they have any cooking recipes for sale. If they do, try to buy them if you can.

As time goes by, you might start accumulating ingredients that you don’t need. In this case, sell them on the AH.

The best way to make money with cooking is by selling items that give a stat boost. You may find these dishes difficult to make at first, but stick at it as in the end you will earn some serious gold with these meals.

When choosing your professions, I suggest that you consider fishing as a pairing with cooking. They go very well together and when used properly can make serious amounts of gold. Fishing also has achievements associated with it.

You can take the most advantage out of your cooking profession by eating the foods you make to boost your stats and restore your hit points after battles. I suggest you sell your in demand foods in the Auction House for gold and master the fishing profession as this works very well with cooking.
