/way #210 42 69 /tar Scowling Rosa as she's walking around- In the next quest Pirate Gastronomy Scowling Rosa tells us that she deciphered the note, but Cooktholomew appears to have different names for ingredients than their official names, so she give us the translated note with the amount of each written on it. You either have to buy them from the AH or gather them yourself using this reference.

Description
Here are Cooktholomew's notes deciphered. Even though this still looks strange, I am positive I deciphered it correctly. I was able to work out how much of everything you need, but it looks like he had his own names for different ingredients, so... good luck!
