World of Warcraft/Professions/Cooking

Cooking is just what it sounds like. Players gather raw food ingredients like flour and spices to make food to eat that restores health and sometimes mana. Some foods provide special buffs or have other unique effects. Salt is not considered as a specific ingredient for cooking for some reason. Fishing complements cooking as a ready source of meat ingredients. Otherwise meats for various dishes can be looted from dead creatures soon after a kill. A few drinks can be made from cooking as well.
