Cooking skill for free? Yes please.

As most of you know, the new world event "Pilgrim's Bounty" just started. This holiday is all about the food, both the cooking and the eating of different types of food. And the best part about this, is that you can level your cooking from 1 - 350 with items mostly only gotten from vendors. This is how you go about doing this.

First things first, you need to go grab the tome of cooking recipes. Depending on your faction, you need either this one if you are alliance, or this one if you are horde. Both of those tomes contain five different recipes: Spice Bread Stuffing, Pumpkin Pie, Cranberry Chutney, Candied Sweet Potato and Slow-Roasted Turkey. Since I've done the horde version, I'll stick to linking horde recipes and where to get the ingredients. It's identical for the alliance anyway, with the exception of where to find the ingredients, but you should be able to figure out that yourself.

For the Spice Bread, you need Simple Flour and Mild Spices. You can get this from a nearby vendor. I would advise you to go to the Undercity area, because the next part requires you to be there. Just buy 14 stacks of each, and cook up all of them. This should leave you with 70xSpice Bread. When this is done, learn the Spice Bread Stuffing recipe, get Autumnal Herbs from the vendor, and make 70 of those aswell. Remember to train cooking when you hit 75. Get to at least 100 skill on this one.

Once you hit 100 cooking, learn the Pumpkin Pie recipe, buy 70 pumpkins and the same amount of honey from the nearby vendor, and make it all. Remember to train cooking at 125, so no skill goes to waste. You need to reach 160 skill.

Next step, Orgrimmar. Go to the festival area, grab 70 cranberries, the same amount of honey, learn the Cranberry Chutney recipe, and make them all. No need to train cooking for this one, but make sure to reach at least 220 skill for this.

After this, you'll be heading to Thunder Bluff. Run to the festival area, grab 60 Sweet Potatos, and the same amount of honey and autumnal herbs. Cook it all, and make sure to reach 280 skill. Remember to train cooking before you start this.

Lastly, you need to head to the Undercity again, or more accurately, Tirisfal Glades. The last recipe is the only one that requires you to kill things, but the droprate of the meat is 100%, and the turkeys are everywhere. Farm whatever amount of turkeys you desire, buy the appropriate amount of autumnal herbs and twice the honey (since you need 2xHoney for this one), and get cookin'. This should take you all the way to 350 cooking. Grats with your new cooking skill and achievments.

If you want to make some gold out of this (or XP if you're not level 80), save all the food you cook and do the dailys in the different areas. All they require is for you to hand in whatever food you've cooked. It's not a lot of gold, but it more than covers whatever you've spent on cooking, with some coins to spare.
