How do you recommend I increase my cooking skill?
Try trading cooked food with other players for raw/uncooked food to gain the experience for Cooking the food. Remember, when Cooking large quantities, locate the closest range to a bank to save time travelling back and forth.
The fastest way to train cooking is Wine. If you don't feel like spending that much money, try buying uncooked Curry. It gives 280xp per cook! With Urns this proves a great way to level up your cooking.
