The Cooking trainer will teach you a lot of recipes, all of them will go turn at 382 and gray at 415. Any of these recipes are good for skilling up Cooking. Recommended is Rhino Dogs if you want to farm the materials. There are a lot of Rhinos around Warsong Hold in Borean Tundra, and they respawn really quickly. If you want to buy the materials, you should check the prices for Rhino Dogs, Worm Meat and Fangtooth Herring. These are usually the cheapest ones.
13 x [Rhino Dogs] - 13 [Rhino Meat]

You have to finish a quest chain first. It starts with the quest called Some Make Lemonade, Some Make Liquor and ends with The Taste Test. After you completed the quest chain, go to Dalaran and find the Washed-Up Mage, he is in the In the underbelly (sewers). He will teach you how to make [Kungaloosh]. After that, go to the Dalaran Fruit Vendor and you can just buy the materials from him.
400 - 425
Every cooking recipe beyond this point will be purchased with [Dalaran Cooking Awards], which are obtained by completing the daily cooking quest given by Awilo Lon'gomba (Horde). And you're going to need them and a ton of Northern Spices to level past 425 skill.
You should cook the recipe that you will use for raiding.
The recipes are sold by Misensi (Horde).
