Cooking is a relatively easy skill to train in F2P (free-to-play) due to the wide availability of cooking resources (such as fish) and the large amount of experience training yields over a short period of time. Even power levelling cooking is cheap, efficient, and viable in F2P. Completing the Cook's Assistant quest is helpful for all players as it opens up access to a new range in Lumbridge, which is close to a bank and reduces the chance of burning low-levelled food compared to using a fire or other ranges across Gielinor.
