Best Race for Cooking in Dragonflight
Pandaren can be made on both factions and come with +5 skill points towards Cooking.
Leveling Cooking in Dragonflight
Increasing your skill in Dragonflight is done by crafting items that grant
skill points as usual, but the endgame of the profession is in the search for
all recipes, some of which are sold by specific vendors, while others are
discovered when crafting more basic recipes, such as Braised Bruffalon Brisket,
which is discovered when crafting
Charred Hornswog Steaks.
You can also learn Grand Banquet of the Kalu'ak by participating in the
Grand Feast event.
The specific items to aim for while leveling depend on your server's material costs and current sale price for whatever you are crafting.
Cooking notably does not use any of the new reagents Artisan's Mettle
and
Spark of Ingenuity. If you want to learn about their importance regardless,
