When hovering over a meat, this adds cooking recipe and quest information to the tooltip.

The recipes are listed in the same color code as your character's cooking level, and it also shows the levels when the next two color codes will be activated. If the recipe isn't orange or yellow for your current character, it will show if there are alts that can use it. (can be disabled in the options menu opened by "/cookhelp" ). If the meat is used in a quest for your faction, it shows the number needed and required level.

I've finished a utility that scrapes WowHead to create the Meat and Recipe tables. Assuming no major errors, it will reduce the time for updating from several hours to a few minutes. Beta versions 1.90 and 1.95, and release version 2.00, include tables created by this utility.

The Alchemy addon that Ruadh requested is finished, and is posted at http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/herby

2.02
(Hopefully) fixed bug caused by the tooltip that scans for quest names

2.01
Made quest info optional. Since there are so few related quests, I set the default to off. You can enable it by typing /cookhelp and checking the option

2.00
* Moved quest info out of the Notes database. It should now show localized quest names.
* Added interface options menu. Type /cookhelp to access. If reverting to defaults, please choose "These Options" when prompted, otherwise all of your addons will be reset.
* Added option to suppress meats with more than x recipes (e.g. 100 Year Soy Sauce is used in 15 recipes)

1.95 Beta
All languages should work now with the exception of additional notes. I'll try to change it so quest info is pulled from the game so they won't need to be translated.
Updated to 5.3

1.90 Beta
MoP recipes should all be included now
Memory usage reduced by at least 60%
Updates done (mostly) automatically, which cuts my time spent updating tables by about 95%
Notes split into its own file

What I want to check in this Beta:
* Any color codes that have the wrong numbers. I have no reason to not trust WowHead, but it's possible some are wrong
* What happens with meats, like Viseclaw Meat, that have the same yellow, green, and gray values
* Any missing meats or recipes
* Find any recipes, like Ethereal Oil, that use meats for recipes that aren't cooking updated scraper to exclude non-cooking recipes

1.82
Updated to 5.2

1.81
Updated to 5.1

1.80
Updated to be compatible with 5.0
Added meats from Mists of Pandaria

1.76
Tweaked campfire button to account for spell name change

1.75
Only change other than updating to 4.2 is adding Murglesnout to the list of meats

1.74
No changes other than updating to 4.1

1.73
Added ItemRefTooltip

1.72b
Fixed glitch where some alts were being shown as both green and red.
Changed known indicator symbol to the cooking skill icon.

1.71b
Added logic to tell whether a recipe is known or not. It works for both your current character and your alts. In order for the alts to be shown, you have to open the cooking pane for them once. If it's known, a pound sign will show after the recipe name. I tried an asterisk and plus sign, but they seemed too small to be easily recognizable.
Added a campfire button to the cooking pane. Right now, it's docked to the right side of the pane. Whenever I get the options menu finished, it should have customizable size and location.

1.70b
Updated with new meats from Cataclysm. Most of the updates were to the tables, but a few changes had to be made to the code as well. I tested all of the scenarios that I could think of, and haven't found any errors, but it's possible that some exist that I haven't found. Please let me know if you find any .
Most of the orange/yellow/etc values were taken from wowhead and not from actual gameplay. It's likely that they are accurate, but if you find any that aren't, please let me know those as well. If you find any meats that have "Meat: item ID" in the tooltip, it's one that I missed and can be added if you send me the id.

To Do list:
Use own tooltip window
Look into adding achievement info
Look into the recipe radar again: The first time, I found that it was over my head. It still may be, but it will be worth looking into again
