The WoW Cooking Guide - Interesting Recipes

Now what could possibly be cooler than pwning newbs dressed as a ninja or a pirate? All you have to do, in the World of Warcraft, is help yourself to a serving of Savory Deviate delight.

You can get this dish from a helpful cook who knows how to make it, and has the fish, or from the auction house, or you can make it yourself. If you buy the dish from the AH be prepared to spend several gold for a stack of 20 dishes. The recipe itself commonly sells for well over 20 gold. The fish actually seem to sell for a higher price than the finished dishes.

Good luck trying to farm a copy of the recipe on your own. It's a rare drop, which means that you'll kill hundreds of mobs and never see it, while that guy over there kills one and gets it immediately.

Once you have a recipe all you need is the fish and some mild spices. You can catch the fish (or buy them) and buy the spices from your friendly (unless it's a Blood Elf) trade goods vendor.

Savory Deviate Delight

Now, while turning into a pirate is cool, there are other recipes which are also interesting. Dragonbreath Chili for one. Want to breathe fire on the opposition? Stop them in their tracks with your truly foul breath? Well, ok it won't quite stop them, the damage isn't anything to write home about, but it's a cool effect.

While Savory Deviate Delight requires a cooking skill of 85, this one requires 200. You'll need to get the recipe off certain vendors, plus some Mystery Meat, Small Flame Sacs, and some Hot Spices. Cook it all up and you're good. The buff lasts for 10 minutes and you'll breathe fire onto your opponent at random times.

You can find the recipe off Helenia Olden, in Dustwallow Marsh (66,51) or Ogg'marr, also in Dustwallow, at 36,31. Less than 1 gold to buy.

Recipe: Dragonbreath Chili

Take the in-game cooking and bring it into the real world. Invite your gamer friends over for dinner and feed them the real Savory Deviate Delight, Dragonbreath Chili, or even Delicious Cave Mold cookies!

Want more? You'll find over 60 recipes, brought from the game to the real world, in the Tauren Chef Cookbook. Then you'll have a house full of pirates shouting, "Avast, ye scurvy dogs!" while they look for those sneaky ninjas.

Get the big buff with Fisherman's Feast and Spicy Crawdad. Both of these yummy dishes require a cooking skill of 350 (yow!) They both restore 7500 health and provide a Stam buff of 30 and a 20 point Spirit buff. There's some argument as to which is "better," but that'll depend on which is easier for you to acquire.

The fisherman's Feast recipe can be found from a barmaid in Shattrath, in the lower city, in a tavern. For ingredients you'll need 1 Huge Spotted Felltail, 5 Goldenbark Apples, and 5 Soothing Spices. While the spices are easy and the apples can be found from fruit vendors, the Felltail is a pretty rare drop. Huge Spotted Feltail

Spicy Crawdad might be an easier recipe, depending on your ability to fly... You can grab the recipe in Stonebreaker Hold in Terokkar Forest and then you have to travel a bit. Plus, a flying mount or the flying ability is required. In addition you'll need an effective fishing skill of at least 405 just to cast a line and 475 is recommended so that not too many get away.

You'll be looking for pools/nodes called "Highland Mixed School" for your Furious Crawdads. These pools are found in three elevated lakes in Terokkar Forest, Outland: Blackwind Lake (near Skettis), Lake Ere'Noru (above Allerian Stronghold), and Lake Jorune (above Stonebreaker Hold.)

Bring your fishing suit and lures. Catching the Furious Crawdad
