Added Over 1000 new recipes were added in the 5/8 patch.
Here are some of the newly added recipes.

Just below we see the recipe for "Shellcracker's Seafood Salad" listed.

On EQTraders, there are no captures of the baking recipes from June 2002 to December 2002. The recipe hadn't been added yet in the June capture, but it appears in the December capture. It's listed under "Velious Recipes (requires ingredients available only on Velious)." The distinction here is the location of the ingredients, not the era of the recipe's release.

Additional evidence:

Compare EQTraders' page on zone-specific forages: Dec2001 (Last updated: Dec 3, 2001) vs Jun2002 (Last updated: May 27, 2002)

We see several Velious-specific forages now listed as ingredients for the salad. Clicking one of the 'can be baked into Shellcracker's Seafood Salad' links listed in the Jun2002 capture takes us to the May 8 recipe page that Niami used to collect and test the new recipes before sorting them into their respective categories.

From a May 2002 thread testing baking trivials of the new recipes:
