Illustrious Grand Master Cooking is learned from a [Cooking Trainer]. Once you have learned it, you can continue leveling up.

To continue cooking beyond 450, you must have the World of Warcraft: Cataclysm expansion.

Skill Lvl Details
450 to 500

Once you get to 450 and have Illustrious Grand Master Cooking, you'll have a few new recipes that you can pick up from vendors. There are only 2 that I recommend grinding through from 450 to 500.

#   Recipe Ingredients
27 X Whitecrest Gumbo  [Whitecrest Gumbo]

- 27 [Blood Shrimp]

----- AND -----

25 X Hearty Seafood Soup  [Hearty Seafood Soup]

- 15 [Blood Shrimp]

Farming

- [Blood Shrimp] is found in Abyssal Clams which drop all over the place in [Vashj'ir]. If you're not getting any, you're not killing things.

Note: You might need to make more of the [Hearty Seafood Soup] - as it goes green at 497

500 to 525

 

From this point on, just make any of the [Uldum] recipes that you have ingredients for - there's no special order. Just make what you get materials for.

 

Now that you're an Illustrious Grand Master - you can relax and start really playing the game, right?
