I cannot begin the quest “So You Want to Be a Chef …” in Pandaria. As it turns out, I do want to be a chef, but something is wrong with beginning the quest. While I have trained in cooking, there is no way to make the first recipe because there is no way to learn it. I have checked Wowhead.com and no one has updated the quest since patch 7.0
Sungshin Ironpaw who offers the quest should certainly also teach you the recipe. Make sure you haven’t accidentally switched your Filter to showing Unavailable or Already Learned recipes when you ask her to train you.
