My current main char is stuck at level 289 cooking.
Where can I buy new recepies, or where can I go to do quests for cooking?

WoWhead is really useful for this sort of thing. Here's a list of every cooking recipe in the game, sorted by skill required to cook it. Note that the list displays the skill levels at which the Recipe goes Orange, Yellow, Green, and eventually Grey.
To level cooking between 289 and 300, when, as Dongorath noted, a variety of recipes open up, If you're leveling fishing concurrently, you have lots of options. Try some of these:
If you absolutely cannot stand fishing and don't want to buy fish from the AH, you have two options that will see you through to 300:
Another option is Clamlette Magnifique - the recipe is a quest reward from Clamlette Surprise in Gadgetzan - a quest which was once required to advance beyond 225 cooking. It's easy to miss now that it's no longer required, but it's notable because it requires an extremely common and cheap ingredient (Zesty Clam Meat), offers a universally useful Attack Power and Spell Power buff, and most importantly, is green all the way to 300.
Finally, if you don't mind waiting until November, the in-game Harvest Festival (which occurs around Thanksgiving in the US) will offer you the opportunity to learn to cook Slow-Roasted Turkey, along with making available the unique (only found during the holiday) ingredients required for it in abundance. The Turkey recipe is notable in that it will keep giving skillups for a full 75 points, from 280, all the way to a whopping 355, allowing you to nearly completely skip Outland recipes and cooking. This can be handy for a high level player power leveling the skill after the fact, as some of the Outland meat and fish can be a pain to farm.
In the Cenarion Hold at Silithus, Calandrath, the Innkeeper, should have a quest for a 285 cooking recipe : Smoked Desert Dumplings (+20 strength).
It might be a chain of quests.
After that, it's directly 300 cooking recipes.
