7. 300 to 325
   Buy the recipe for Ravager Dogs from Father Malgor Devidicus in Honor Hold and then go kill Ravagers around Falcon Watch until you have about 35-40 meat.
   
8. 325 to 350 Two choices here.
   1). Go buy the Roasted Clefthoof recipe from Uriku in Telaar (Nagrand) and then kill Clefthooves around Nagrand for about 35-40 meat or:
   2). Go buy the Warp Burger recipe from Supply Officer Mills in Allerian Stronghold (Terokkar Forest) and then kill Warp Stalkers/Hunters around Terokkar Forest for about 35-40 meat.
   
9. 350 to 375
   This part really is a problem at the moment. The best way to get to 375 at the moment is by fishing up Furious Crawdads in one of three lakes around Terokkar Forest and then cooking them. However, these lakes are only accessible if you have a flying mount.
   The three lakes are: Lake Jorune - north west of Stonebreaker Hold.
   Lake Ere'Noru - south east of Allerian Stronghold. Blackwind Lake - in the south east corner of the map, in the Skettis area. You can buy the recipe from Innkeeper Biribi in Allerian Stronghold. Unfortunately, there doesnt appear to be a way for Alliance to get hold of the Crunchy Serpent recipe at the moment, so levelling up from 350 to 375 is going to be a major pain in the butt without a flying mount and a 430+ fishing skill.
   
   Just as a quick helper If you go to The Pig and Whistle Tavern in Old Town Stormwind, on the upper floor there is a Master Cooking Recipie Vendor. This Guy sells about 16-20 Different Cooking recipies and they are really helpful if you want to level up fast.
   

Also, buying from the AH will speed things along too
