To max Cooking in TBC Classic you push 1-300 in Azeroth using cheap meat, then learn Master Cooking (300-375) from The Rokk in Shattrath's Lower City and grind Outland recipes like Ravager Dog, Warp Burger, and Roasted Clefthoof.

Where do I learn Master Cooking in TBC?
Any Outland city cooking trainer teaches Master Cooking once you hit 300 skill. The most convenient is The Rokk in Shattrath's Lower City — he also sells key recipes and hands out the daily cooking quest.
What are the best food buffs at level 70?
Damage classes love Warp Burger and Grilled Mudfish (+20 Agility) or Ravager Dog (+40 attack power). Casters run Blackened Basilisk or Crunchy Serpent (+spell damage), and tanks favor Roasted Clefthoof (+Strength). Higher-end fish dishes like Spicy Crawdad give +30 Stamina.
Are the Shattrath cooking dailies worth it?
Yes. The single daily from The Rokk rewards a Crate of Meat or Barrel of Fish plus a shot at rare recipes you can't easily buy. It's the cleanest way to bank extra skill points and stock ingredients while you level.
