WOW: Guide to Cooking 450-525

Now before I start the core of my guide I'd like to bring to your attention that if you are able to get your hands on any Lavascale Catfish Then you can use it to a large advantage since Lavascale Milestone. From what I have researched, this recipe will entitle you to a bypass right to level 520~525 saving you some time, thinking and Chef's awards.

Please not all recipes I mention are obtainable using the Chef's awards gained by complete the daily quests from Marogg (Horde) in Org, and (Unsure about the Ally Equiv). Also a very important addition (which I know has been posted before) to get a head start on cooking in Prep for Cata you should
COMPLETE THE DAILY COOKING QUEST ON ALL YOUR LEVEL 10+ ALTS AND BUY THE CRATE OF TASTY MEAT
and send the loot of meat to the toon that you plan on leveling cooking on.

Now if my research is correct you will only need a total of 9 Chef's Awards used to buy 3 different cooking recipes to get from 450-525
