Recipe for Disaster is a Horde-only quest for level 10-30 in The Cape of Stranglethorn. It rewards 4 reward items, 1 reputation reward, 5,150 experience and money.
I need Zanzil's recipe, now more than ever. One of Zanzil's flunkies at the Ruins of Aboraz must have it on him. Head east, to the other coast of the Cape, and snatch it for me!

The quest item Zanzil's Formulation drops from the Zanzil Witch Doctors.
On my first pass through the ruins, I didn't see any mobs marked as dropping a quest item, but when I went back, about three witch doctors had spawned. The mobs in the ruins may share a spawn so I'd suggest killing everything to make sure some witch doctors show up.
Also, unlike me, do this before you take the ZG portal so you don't have to come back.
The Zanzil Witch Doctor appears to share a spawn chance with the other mobs in the area. If you can't find any of this guy start killing everything else.
Completed this on a level 68 with 45 defence.
Oh wait....
