Welcome to Cooking, Noobies!
I'm glad you've decided to take the craft of cooking under your wing. (Congratulations!) ^.^
I'm Ayashe of the Ramuh server, and this is my attempt at a guide for cooking for level 0-60. This craft is one of the most affordable and easy crafts to level, even if you're just cruising along to 60. ~.^
Good luck and enjoy!
First Things, First
You can sign up for this guild at the Culinarians' Guild (Windurst) by talking to Piketo-Puketo. You will also receive a free crystal once you sign up.
I strongly suggest that you also sign up for Fishing as well if you haven't already. This other "craft" will come in handy as you level cooking.
Try not to start any craft when you don't have any money. You will burn a hole in your pocket and you won't have any money for the necessities in this game. Trust me, I made that mistake. >.>
Selling Your Items
Selling what you make is completely up to you. Whether you want to sell it on the Auction House (AH), put it in your Bazaar, or sell it to an NPC, the choice is yours. Some things you make don't sell well on the Auction House, therefore you might consider selling them to an NPC. If you want to check how the items on this guide sell on the Auction House, click on the link next to the item name, and select your correct server name from the drop-down menu in the upper left hand corner once you get to the page!
Synths: Levels 11 - 20

Yield: Selbina Butter x4
HQ 1: Selbina Butter x6
HQ 2: Selbina Butter x9
HQ 3: Selbina Butter x12
Ice Crystal
1x Selbina Milk
1x Rock Salt

Buy the Selbina Milk from an NPC or farm them from the sheep, and you can either farm or buy the Rock Salt from the Auction House. I bought both of these items and sold mine to an NPC. The proft was maybe a little loss or an even break. Save about 3, 4, or even 5 stacks of butter for the next synth.

1x Distilled Water

Simple synth and you will make tons of it. Use the Advanced Synthesis Image Support until you reach level 24 or so. If you are fishing, you will need these to fish up Moat Carps for the quest: "The Rivalry - The Competition". It is a cheaper synth than purchasing it off of the Auction House. If you sell them on the Auction House, you will make a decent profit. However, if you want to make a good profit from this, be patient. Although these do sell well on the Auction House, you'll want to be patient when selling them since you can only put 7 items up for sale at a time. But if you're looking just to hurry up and get to level 29, then sell the paste back to an NPC.

1x Bird Egg
1x Cinnamon
1x Faerie Apple
1x Maple Sugar
1x Pie Dough

Test Item for Journeyman!
Make sure to grab Adv. Synthesis Support from the guild until you hit level 45 so you don't break synths. Use the Pie Dough you just made and buy the rest of the ingredients from a guild seller or NPC. Try to keep as much inventory space as possible, as you will be making a lot of these.

Synths: Levels 50 - 60

Yield: Stone Cheese x4
HQ 1: Rock Cheese x4
Dark Crystal
1x Selbina Milk
1x Rock Salt

Good synth to cap this craft out at 60. Buy the ingredients from an NPC and craft away!
NOTE: If you plan on taking this craft past 60, you can make Yagudo Drinks instead of this, which cap at 60. The drink is the next TEST ITEM but DO NOT turn it in unless your are planning on taking this craft to 100.
