This New World trade levelling guide focuses on Cooking, the profession that allows players to serve up a variety of tasty dishes.
While there are several ways to increase proficiency, it will help those who want to level up their Cooking skill without committing too many resources to unnecessary recipes.
NOTE: New World recipes such as those below simply ask for materials of a certain tier or type, such as 'Game Meat' or 'Raw Foods'.
It's entirely up to you which ingredients you use within these categories, although we'd suggest using the ones that are the easiest to source.
Level 1-50
Note: Tutorial quests will require you to craft a Light Ration at the campfire by the beach.
