Recipes are used in Cooking to learn to craft consumables (mostly food ); many of which are taught by Cooking trainers . Recipes given as a reward for completing a Cooking quest , found as loot or purchased from a vendor are usually named in the format of [Recipe: <consumable> ]. E.g., "Recipe: Runn Tum Tuber Surprise ".
Certain recipes are only readily available to characters of a specific faction, usually due to them being a reward for a quest specific to that faction, or the vendor for the recipe being in an area only accessible to that faction. Sometimes, these recipes are available from a neutral auction house , assuming that they're not bind on pickup .
As of Pilgrim's Bounty (2009), the total number of recipes actually in the game was 169. With the recent implements of Cataclysm , the number of recipes increased to 200 with the addition of [ Venison Jerky] , two Feasts from guild achievements, and 28 from new Cooking Dailies. For new players however, the number of obtainable recipes is considerably less; not only were the quests yielding some recipes removed in 4.0.3a, some vendors selling recipes were also removed due to change to their location. In addition, one Cataclysm recipe turned out to be bugged and was removed shortly after the expansion launched. Roughly estimated, this puts the number of recipes currently available for new chefs to around 190. If you wish to determine which recipes you are missing, you can use the in-game mod Ackis Recipe List .
