Expert cooking

Expert Cooking
Expert cooking can only be trained by purchasing and using a special book titled, "Expert Cookbook". Alliance chefs may purchase the Expert Cookbook from Shandrina in Ashenvale. Horde chefs may purchase the Expert Cookbook from Wulan in Desolace. The price of the book is 1 gold.

If you have boat loads of gold, you can probably just purchase the book at the Auction House, but you will usually end up paying twice as much.

Artisan Cooking
To obtain the Artisan Cooking quest, you have to be level 40 and already have a maxed out cooking skill of 225.

Begin by speaking with Dirge Quikcleave at the Inn in Gadgetzan (coords 52.28). He will offer you the Artisan Cooking quest called "Clamlette Surprise". You will need to gather 12 giant eggs, 10 Zesty clam meat, and 20 alterac swiss to complete the quest. You can find giant eggs off Owlbeasts in the Hinterlands. Obtain the zesty clam meat from Big-mouth Clams that are fished or looted off of sea water creatures like threshers in Dustwallow Marsh. Buy the alterac swiss cheese from a vendor: Alliance vendor Ben Trias at the Cheese Shop in Stormwind, or Horde Inkeeper Abeqwa at Freewind Post in Thousand Needles. These items can often be bought at the Auction House if you want to complete the quest quickly.

NOTE: There is a known bug that will keep you from skilling up after receiving the Artisan Cooking if you leave Gadgetzan. After finishing the Artisan Cooking quest, be sure to have the ingredients to cook something to skill up to 226 before leaving Gadgetzan. There is a bonfire behind the Gadgetzan Inn.
