Hoarders: Azeroth Edition - The Chef's Cookbook

Hello and welcome to Chef Saz's Kitchen of Exotic Food and Drink! Today we shall be opening up the Master Cookbook of Azeroth to explore the many types of different foods and beverages that players are able to obtain and consume within World of Warcraft.


Once upon a time many years ago a friend and I came with a hair-brained idea that we'd move to California or Hawii and buy a shop on the beach. The shop would be called "Tubas and Tacos" and would essentially be two businesses in one. The tuba part would be an instrument repair and retail shop ran by yours truly, while the taco part would be a taco stand/general Mexican themed place of tasty goodness run by my friend. This idea was so epic that a third friend said she would come along and help out with both parts of the shop. Unfortunately like all brilliant hair-brained ideas, this one was simply not to be. I never got that degree in instrument repair and the three of us have all gone our separate ways both in location and seemingly in close friendship (they're still good people, we just don't keep in touch to often).

In real life I'm more or less a fail cook. Sure I can make some decent tacos and can cook a pretty mean frozen pizza, but don't ever expect me to whip up a fancy turkey dinner or anything. I tend mess up Ramen when I have to cook it in a pot (I'm a master at the microwave though!) so if I didn't have others to cook for me I'd basically resort to eating cereal from the box. However my pixelated counterpart, Saz the epic enhancement shaman of uberness, has earned her "Chef" title. You name it, she will learn it and whip it up for you in a jiffy. Through her I am vicariously an awesome chef.

I'm sure by this point dear reader you are wondering about what types of recipes you could potentially learn within Azeroth and what kind of bonus they carry when their products are consumed. Well there are 208 different recipes currently active in game, so let's get to the list. Shall we?

  2. Saz,
    Can I hire you as my personal chef? I didnt know half these things existed. Oh and what about Rumsey's Rum? Good drink for tipsy but extra stam. I didnt see it.
    Anyways one of the best Hoarders posts yet, I need to bookmark it...then figure out how to start WoW cooking...sort of. I cook decent in the RL, not great but decent. In WoW...ya I burn EVERYTHING. Have a great day Saz!

  3. @Sol - I'm glad it was useful for you! You are very welcome for the list.

    @Mhorgrim - You may certainly hire me if you so wish, I'm always looking for work after all ; ) The Rumsey Rum that you are thinking of is a drop in Tol Barad and does indeed give you a stamina boost of 10 for 15 minutes while getting you drunk to boot. It is unfortunately not a recipe, and I think the one you are thinking of is "Captain Rumsey's Lager" which is in the list.

    Starting to cook in WoW is the easy part...gathering all the materials to level it up is the painful part. I definitely recommend leveling fishing along side cooking, seeing as though most of what you catch will help level your cooking. Unless of course you'd rather not travel that much and have deep pockets to clear the AH out with! Here's a wonderful recipe to get you started though:

    Bring two gnomes, two eggs. Beat Gnomes, separate the eggs- or was it... eh, details.

    ^ Super secret ancient Draenei recipe right there!

  4. Thanks for doing this, Saz! Definitely bookmarking this for my future use because "Iron Chef" is the only achievement left in my Cooking profession.

  5. It was my pleasure! I get a kick out of putting these lists together, I always stumble across little gems that I would have otherwise completely missed. I'm glad that my list obsession will be of use you to ^_^
