If you are thinking of leaving the warmer climes of Azeroth for the frozen lands of Northrend, you’ll have to make sure that your bags have plenty of gold and your cooking skills are up to snuff. The nights can be pretty cold under the frigid Northern sky and you'll need more than a warm pair of underwear if you are to make through the night with only a frozen, Conjured Croissant to keep you warm.
Cooking is a great secondary profession to master right throughout the game, but it can help you make gold in WOTLK by showing you those basic cooking mats that will be in demand from Northrend players and thus useful to supply to the Auction House for much gold.
As I've mentioned before, it's important to ensure that your primary and secondary profession skills are up to Grand Master level to take advantage of those materials that require at least level 350 before they can be gathered (Mining, Herbalism and Skinning). Cooking is similar in that you'll need to level to 350 if you want to take advantage of many of the cooking recipes and quests in WOTLK. If you are not quiet at that level, then I recommend you buy the basic ingredients you need from the Auction House and level your cooking before you are too far into the WOTLK game.
Once you start cooking in Northrend you'll learn the basic Meats that are in demand and hence can make you gold. A good example is 'Chilled Meat'. This is a basic ingredient for many recipes but a favorite with both Horde and Alliance alike for the making of 'Northern Stew'.
Both Horde and Alliance players can obtain the recipe via the quest 'Northren Cooking' via NPCs in Howling Fjord and Borean Tundra. It's also required for the Dalaran Cooking Daily. Try farming the Daggercap Hammerheads in Daggercap Bay or the Great Reef Sharks in Howling Fjord or the Borean Tundra. Any surplus Meat will sell well on the Auction House and make you gold.
Happy Cooking
