The mat for the lead in daily cooking quest (test 1 I think it was)
wildfowl drumstick
(not what I would guess makes rice pudding)
Killed everything in the zone several times over and over never did find the mat..
Thinking about it going to go kill stuff in Krasarang Wilds since its wild fowl.
I suspect enough critical ingredients are missing to make it impossible to level cooking yet. The only reason I could train specializations was because I had already reached 530 skill on Fish Cakes, back before the skill-up profile for that dish changed to go grey at 500.
I was able to get cooking to 555
Using
Fish Cake -
mat = golden carp
Swirling Mist Soup - Specialization 1st recipe = Way of the Pot - Intellect
mat = Jade Lungfish - Fished from coast of Krasarang Wilds
Going to look later to see what other fish might be usable to lvl higher or maybe try to hunt the other meats.
Have you seen
Journeyman Cookbook
http://mop.wowhead.com/item=86512
The Journeyman Cookbook has caused a fair bit of discussion. It isn't available in-game, and given that it has "test" written all over it, probably never will be.
The spell it triggers is curious, because it is assigned to its own SkillLine group. SkillLines are groups of spells, like professions or specialisations. There was no need to create a new group just to have the item, so whatever the item is intended to test will be slightly unusual. Gut feeling is some sort of test for account-bound recipes, simply because it is called a "cookbook". But it could be something very different.
Not directly related to Specialisations however it may be useful for people here on the beta and attempting to level Cooking.
Basically pulling together all available data of known cooking ingredients listed on wowhead. Giving name, location and source/s where currently confirmed. Plus some thoughts on where those still missing may turn up. It includes the fish included on this site on the Pandaria > History page. I explain it more thoroughly on the WoW EU forum post here;
MoP Beta - Cooking Ingredients List
Hope it is of some use to those budding MoP chefs here!
That's very useful. I may mirror some of that information here, because the beta forums have a habit of disappearing at the end of beta, and traditional cooking with only fish doesn't seem possible in Pandaria, so people will need to farm meat and vegetables too. (I suspect the meaning of the word "farm" is about to change too...)

Please feel free to use any/ all of it El. I would have posted here but did not want to update more than one list. I am adding items as I go. Finding some new drops now in higher level areas.
I am still holding out that 'farming' may also include 'fish farming'... Much like the Jinyu and The Anglers do in their villages with nets. I noticed that they added Carp into the now in Sri-La Village that you can kill (lvl1) The same as the fish being spear fished over in Nayeli Lagoon.
Our very own personal fish pond...yum. Fingers crossed.
Also I still find it weird that Wowhead list all vegetables under 'Meat' still.
Meat is an auction house classification used by the game. Would perhaps be better described as "Cooking Ingredients".
Added: And I should clarify that most of the ingredients you list as unknown are not currently used in cooking recipes, so their status is moot.
The MoP Beta - Cooking Ingredients List thread has been updated a bit and now includes some updates noted there including the elusive Ginseng.
It is now possible to level all Ways to maximum for the 'Master of the Ways' title.

It's true that there are no recipes for some of these however it does leave open to question what they do with the beasts roaming Pandaria that do not have a meat drop yet such as Goats (listed as unknown); Yak (seems reasonable they may be harvested for meat as they are domesticated Ox Flank?) ; Spinefish we know are an Alchemy recipe just not sure where it will drop. Jinyu Spirit Water sounds like something they intend to introduce somehow.
Then all the other Beasts like Bears, Porcupine, Wolves, Foxes, Stags etc. which have traditionally always provided some meat drop. Maybe they will share some of the meat types, though you have some funny consequences such as the Zandalari Raptors currently dropping Raw Tiger Meat!
I wasnt able to lvl way of the pot to 600.
Im currently at 598 and stuck in the way of the pot. Banquet of the pot, great banquet of the pot, braised turtle and swirling mist soup are all turned grey at 598 and there's no one recipies around.
Any suggestions how to deal with this?
For the ways the last 10 points you must cook 2 of the bigger feast.
Once your reg skill gets high enough all the way recipes also turn to gray but they still give skill in the way.
For each way at 575 make 3 small feast till 590 then make 2 of the large feast and tada 600 in that way.
BTW
With patch coming in groceries are going to take 100 items not 20 anymore so if your using that quest to get tokens I would spam it before the patch.
Take the quest get empty fill it get another empty fill it ect ect that way you can turn in one after the other without running back and forth.
Based on game data, not yet possible to check in-game, in the latest patch the 575-skill feasts now remain orange until 600, removing soyzan's problem. There have been a lot of other changes to cooking leveling too. Originally, the most effective method was to level 550 to 554 using the 530-skill recipe, which then meant the feast remained orange for 5 points from 594 to 599, leaving only the last point as grey. This post explains the problem.
BTW, the 100 items quoted by MMO-Champion is misleading. It applies only to the Ginseng bundle and a few of the vegetables (and even then they list the Ginseng bundle with a bugged tooltip, which says 20). Based on the data in MMO-Champion's own database, the other bundles are unchanged - except that Golden Carp's tooltip is now correct, at 60 - everything else still requires 20. The 5-fold increase in vegetables is consistent with recipe changes (which also see far more vegetables required), so likely there are major changes afoot regarding vegetables.
Balanced against the greater requirement for some recipes, you get more vegetables per Sack when trading Bundles of Groceries with Nam Ironpaw. Datamined items now show generally 25 veg. per sack up from 5. This is probably aiming at balancing up thing with Farming likely to be in place soon and another source of these.
Worth checking still what you can get hold of more easily and what you will require when sourcing ingredients this way. And the new data is still quite mixed up across the same items so expect some more changes before it settles.
If they do add in the empty containers for ingredients you can buy as they could do (in database not yet implemented), then another option will be to buy your way through it for those with the gold to spare. Example;
Empty Instant Noodles Container
Currently 70s each o Beta from Sungshin Ironpaw that would be 70*20= 14g/Bundle of Groceries/per token.
Seems too low to me so maybe they will adjust number required for lower value items or price (though it needs to be reasonable for levelling purposes also available)
Together with new items that allow you to swap stacks of veg., Meat & Vegetable Traders at Halfhill Market, AH, Bundles etc. it looks like a number of options will be available to help flatten out potential oversupply and undersupply.
