Daily cooking quests

Daily cooking quests were introduced in the expansion, and additional quests have also been added with the  expansion as well. The Dalaran cooking dailies require 350 cooking skill and level 65, while the Shattrath cooking dailies only require 275 cooking skill but require level 70. The expansion brings with it Orgrimmar and Stormwind dailies which require level 10. Patch 4.1.0 expanded this by adding similar daily quests to Darnassus, Ironforge, Thunder Bluff and the Undercity.

If you seek to complete the Meta-achievement, the cooking dailies are required to complete several of the objectives.

Recipes
The cooking daily quests are also the only way to learn many cooking recipes.

Orgrimmar/Stormwind Dailies
When completing the Orgrimmar/Stormwind cooking dailies, you receive Chef's Awards which are used to purchase high quality recipes or a.

Each daily awards 1 or 2 Chef's Awards and +1 or +2 to your cooking skill, with the amount depending on the quest. Note that the quest rewards are not identical between cities; the Stormwind daily quest might offer 1 award and +2 cooking skill on the same day that the Ironforge one might offer the reverse.

Outland Dailies
When completing the Shattrath cooking dailies, the following recipes have a chance to drop from the Barrel of Fish or Crate of Meat, which are part of the reward for completing the quest.

Northrend Dailies
When completing the Dalaran cooking dailies, you receive at least one Dalaran Cooking Award (and as many as 3) per day which are used to purchase high quality recipes or additional spices used by the recipes.

As of Patch 3.0.8, the Small Spice Bag has a chance to drop the rare recipes, Recipe: Delicious Chocolate Cake and Recipe: Stormchops.

Daily quests
Some quest objectives, including Infused Mushroom and Crystalsong Carrot, can be tracked with Find Herbs.

Recipes
A good tip when completing the Shattrath cooking dailies is to always choose the Crate of Meat as your reward, until you have all recipes available from it, because it might contain items you need for your next daily cooking quest. When you have all of the recipes Crate of Meat has to offer, switch to Barrel of Fish in order to obtain the remaining recipes.

Most cooking quests can be completed while in a raid group. The exception to this is, as the mana berries cannot be looted while in a raid group.
