Edit: I have confirmed that you can pass through the Dark Portal at any level, so long as you can get there physically. I just managed it at level 10 (I died a lot on the way, though!) On arrival in Hellfire Peninsula you will automatically have the flight path to Thrallmar/Honor Hold (no cost).
Edit 2: You can get master level cooking from the grand master trainers in Northrend - much, much easier for low-level toons. The guide has been amended.
Edit 3: You don't even have to go to Northrend - all the Pilgrim's Bounty trainers go right up to Grand Master. The guide has been amended again.

I think you have to be 58 to go through the dark portal. I've tried to go at 50 to train professions and it refused to let me through, so I had to have a friend port me to Shatt. This was some time ago, so I don't know if that's changed with the more recent patches.

EDIT: Actually, checking on Wowhead, they have Northrend recipes as being available all over Azeroth from Cooking trainers, so I'll upgrade this from "might" to "extremely likely."

(Dunno if anyone has said this yet) From what I've observed on my alts, you no longer have to go to Outland/Northrend trainers to get Master/Grand Master proffessions. I got them on my lower level toons before I was even high enough level for those areas. Hope this helps.
