Do Dalaran Cooking Awards have any use at all in Cataclysm?
I would guess that they become useless (beyond the chef's hat and achievements) and that Northern Spices also become useless.
I doubt they'll even be needed to level cooking on another character through Northrend, but some confirmation would be good. I'm thinking that they might boost the leveling potential of trainable recipes and also introduce sub-450 Cataclysm cooking recipes. That guess is based of the trend that they simplify the previously end-game leveling portion of all professions in new expansions.
All that is my own speculation so is there anyone that can share a quick answer if you know it?
