Tips

  • The Dalaran fishing daily reward item that grants 5 Epicurean's Award tokens can be traded or purchased on the Auction House, and each item can be used multiple times per day, making it the fastest way to accumulate tokens.

  • Horde players running the cooking dailies Corn Mash, Everything Is Better with Bacon, or Roach Coach earn 2 tokens per day; Alliance players running Feeling Crabby?, Keepin' the Haggis Flowin', or Ribs for the Sentinels also earn 2 tokens per day — completing these alongside the Dalaran daily Mustard Dogs! (which awards 3 tokens total including bag reward) maximizes daily token income.

  • Recipes for Blackened Surprise, Seafood Magnifique Feast, Broiled Dragon Feast, and Darkbrew Lager are not sold by Shazdar or Bario Matalli, so you can complete the achievement using the remaining vendor-purchasable recipes without needing these four.

  • Note that recipes which previously required Fresh Water now require Refreshing Spring Water instead.
