Iron Chef is an achievement that requires the character to learn 200 cooking recipes.

Locations

See the main article cooking recipes for detailed information about where to find every cooking recipe.

Strategy

As of Patch 4.2.0, 202 recipes are available, of which  [Thistle Tea] is effectively Rogue only. In addition, one recipe may no longer be obtained, although existing copies may still be traded.

The remaining 200 recipes are available to everyone. To find and learn them:

• Use the AckisRecipeList add-on to track your progress
• Learn any remaining recipes from the cooking trainers
• Complete cooking daily quests and fishing daily quests:
  • 6 recipes can drop from the Shattrath cooking dailies (the two rare ones can also drop from the Dalaran dailies)
  • 1 recipe can drop from the Shattrath and Dalaran fishing dailies.
  • 24 recipes from the Dalaran cooking dailies
  • 29 recipes from the Stormwind / Orgrimmar cooking dailies

Achievement recipes

Two recipes are only available after completing Guild Achievements:

•  [Broiled Dragon Feast] requires  Set the Oven to "Cataclysmic"
•  [Seafood Magnifique Feast] requires  That's A Lot of Bait

During the Feast of Winter Veil one may acquire:

Bugs

A confirmed bug reduces the count by one, as an unspecified recipe may not always be accurately counted. This was confirmed by a GM. (see discussion)

For some players, the achievement system shows a total recipe count one or two higher than the actual number known. This would enable those players to receive the achievement at 198 or 199 recipes. A reasonable explanation is that the system counted the two cookbooks that used to be required, and thus gave +1 or +2 to the count depending on whether the player was also affected by the confirmed bug mentioned above.

While technically not a bug, Wowhead lists more "recipes" than actually exist since:

• 6 are cooking training levels (apprentice, journeyman, expert, artisan, master, and grand master)
• 5 are repeated Pilgrim's Bounty recipes (since they each have Horde and Alliance versions)
• 1 is Campfire

Progression

•  [Lunch Lady]
•  [Short Order Cook]
•  [Chef de Partie]
•  [Sous Chef]
•  [Chef de Cuisine]
•  [Iron Chef]
•  [Ironpaw Chef]
•  [Serious Chef]
•  [Showoff Chef]

Trivia

Iron Chef (Japan), Iron Chef America, and Iron Chef UK are popular television series about famous and noteworth chefs competing against each other for the title "Iron Chef". The two chefs with the most wins on Iron Chef America—Bobby Flay and Mario Batali—have cooking NPCs—Robby Flay and Bario Matalli—named after them for the Stormwind cooking dailies.
