I know, I know…but I posted in professions and nobody is answering (you can hear the tumbleweeds!LOL).
Anybody know how I get the BFA rank 2 large meal recipes?
Everything Ive looked up says its the trainer in Nazjatar who teaches you but for me he only shows the 160 recipe.
Any ideas??
Do you got the names of the meals? Then we can wowhead 
it is possible you need a certain level of cooking and/or reputation with Nazjatar.

One example is Baked Port Tato. But its basically all the ones you get rank 2 in from Nazjatar and Mechagon trainers. My cooking level is 156 and Im exalted with both factions…visited both cooking trainers and neither have the rank 2 recipes.
All the guides Ive looked up just tell me to go to the trainers and they will have the recipes! /headdesk
At this stage Im thinking its either a bug or something massively stupid that will make me kick myself!! LOL
You can check the “Unlearned” tab and see how to get the next rank.
Since Ive already learned rank 1 the recipes arent there. The cooking tab just tells me to go to a trainer for rank 2.
Looks like it might be a bug after all! 
Rank one and two should be from the trainer (Rolm for Horde, Instructor Ulooaka for Alliance), the third is from a WQ.
Rank 1 requires 140 cooking skill, rank 2 requires 155 skill.
Mouse over the stars for learnt recipes to see the tooltip, telling you where the next rank is from.

yup, it tells me I should be able to learn them at the trainer but they arent there…and Im still only at rank 1.
Ive submitted a ticket as I think its a glitch somewhere.
Off topic, you look kinda small for a tauren priest

It’s a slow painful transition.
/quickly changes character
How about now??
I am pretty sure I got that from a world quest reward for cooking in Naz
Rank 3 recipes are all usually WQ rewards but the rank 2 is gotten from a trainer…at least according to every source Ive looked at.
Ohhh hold on a sec… doesn’t it proc and go into your bag when you mass make it?
I def got one of the rank from naz wq - that was rank 3.
Sure that if they use gnomes engineering gizmos 
Just checking you’re using the trainer in Naz - other cooking trainers don’t have it.
yup, Ive checked with Naz trainer, also Mechagon and Boralus…they all only have the 160 recipe.
Hopefully my ticket will clear things up…Im Pandaren dammit! Cooking and food are my life!! LOL

Cook up a load of rank 1… it should proc and put rank 2 in your bag or auto upgrade it.
Here is what my Mage (who has all ranks) sees at the Naz instructor, when I tick Available, Not Available, and Already Known all on:
Note Baked Port Tato is there twice, once for Rank 1 and once for Rank 2
So the trainer definitely has both R1 and R2.
Do you see them both when you tick Available, Not Available, and Already Known all on?
According to Wowhead, R2 needs skill 155, and is taught by several trainers:
ok…superweird!!
I go back to Nazjatar today to check out Not Available option and whereas before it only showed Famine Evaluator And Snack Table at level 160 suddenly all the other recipes have appeared! 
wonky patch 8.3 shennanigans maybe!??
well, I dont care where they came from…my cooking adventures can now continue!!LOL
(whoops! I changed characters, still the OP tho!)
