Note that tender wolf steak & monster omlet now go gray at 275!  The only way now to up your cooking from 275-300 is by fishing - which really sucks if you're like me and had no intention of developing the skill.  It takes about 3 hours to level fishing from 0 to a high enough lvl to fish the fish you need for your cooking, namely darkclaw lobster, raw whitescale salmon and large raw mightfish.  Recipes can be purchased at Camp Mojache in Ferelas.  Happy fishing...
