About Cooking
Pandaren have a +15 bonus to cooking due to their Racial Gourmand. This means that recipes stay orange for 15 skill points, which can save materials and thus gold in many cases.

15 x Darkbrew Lager (30 Skin of Dwarven Stout, 15 Jug of Badlands Bourbon)
You can buy the reagents from NPCs, don’t accidentally buy them expensively from the auction house!
Daily Cooking Quests
From here on you need a Epicurean’s Award to buy recipes.
You get Epicurean’s Award through the daily cooking quests. Every day you get at least 3, but some quests reward you with 5.
The daily quests are available from Katherine Lee (Allianz) or Awilo Lon’gomba (Horde) in Dalaran. Also from Marogg (Horde, Orgrimmar) or Robby Flay (Alliance, Stormwind).
If you have enough Epicurean’s Awards you can visit Shazdar (Horde, Orgrimmar) or Jon Casper (Alliance, Stormwind) and buy new recipes. Normally, one recipe costs 3 Epicurean’s Award.
