Many players ignore secondary professions altogether. I now a number of people that have fishing sitting at skill level 17 or cooking at 10. I can’t tell you enough how important it is to level all three secondary professions to a high level (maybe not maximum) since each secondary profession comes with a great advantage. At least make an effort so that your main character has a very high level for all three secondary professions, that way you can make something with that character for your other alts if you need to.
Cooking is a secondary profession that can give you plenty of awesome food buffs. With the release of the Wrath of the Lich King, the Dalaran Cooking Daily has gotten many people back into cooking. However, even then not everyone is leveling their cooking to higher levels. I would recommend taking time out of your playing day to do the cooking daily everyday and start learning the recipes that sell.
As the game progresses and harder raids are released, many players will need food buffs as a mandatory requirement. And many of these players won’t have the time to go out farming for the materials to cook the food that they need for their respective class, this is where you can come in and make a very nice profit from cooking and listing the items on the auction house. I will introduce 2 food items that cooking can make that you will definitely want to consider making to sell on the auction house.
Many of the cooking recipes I will introduce require a very high level of fishing and I will talk about leveling fishing and what levels are required in another article.
