Cooking and first aid are secondary professions. That means you can have them alongside primary professions.
The primary professions are skinning, enchanting, herbalism, mining, tailoring, leatherworking, jewelcrafting, and inscription, and blacksmithing and engineering.
IMO, go with another gathering profession like herbalism or mining.

Depends. Do you want to take up a profession to make things or do you want to take them up to make money?
If you just want money, take two of the three gathering; Mining, Herbalism or Skinning. You can always drop them later to pick up a crafting one when you're max level and it's much easier to raise.
If you really want to create stuff, pick something and it's cooresponding gathering. Skinning and Leatherworking, Herbalism and Alchemy or Inscription, or Mining and Blacksmithing, Jewelcrafting or Engineering.
For a hunter, Blacksmithing is probably the only one that you won't get any real benefit from at all, so it's really up to what you want to do.
One thing to remember though, unless you have a mod to track multiple targets or what not you can only track one thing at a time, be they NPCs or resource nodes.

Again, what Void had said. If you want to create stuff, then pick the profession that interests you the most and then pick the cooresponding gathering profession with it.
Leatherworking is nice as you can create some nice stuff for you along the way, and at higher levels you can create mail, which also goes well with what you have. The downside is training and you may end up grinding a few hours to get enough leather to level it up.
Alchemy is nice as you can create potions and elixirs to help you level, however if you have a lot of them in guild, it isn't as useful. I also do not recommend it if it is your first character as the elixirs may not be as useful as, say, the gear you can craft or the money you can make from gathering.
Inscription is a new one just introduced a couple weeks ago. Only trainable to 365 right now because everything else becomes gray. It helps pump up your spells, much like enchanting. But, you can probably do without for a long time until you hit the level cap and the prices of glyphs go down when the market stabilizes.
Enchanting is a fun one. It helps make your gear stronger through things you break up with greens. I also do not recommend it unless you have a higher level character to farm instances for greens to disenchant.
Blacksmithing...as a hunter I do not recommend it. You make stuff you cannot wear in early levels and then make plate and some interesting weapons. Save it for the plate.
Tailoring...looks above, but for cloth. You don't want to wear cloth as a hunter unless you're super RP oriented.
Engineering is a hunter staple it seems. The fun thing is you can make awesome goggles and fun little toys, but again not really for a beginner to the game. Most of it is just what my friends say: a fun profession for those with excess time or farming capacity for motes.
What I did on my hunter (and my druid as well), was I picked two gathering professions. My druid picked up herbalism and skinning, and my hunter mining and herbalism. I made cash off of the herbs I sold and I saved the skins to level the druid's leatherworking at 70. And right now with inscription people leveling their professions, you can make bank off of the herbs, especially stuff like goldthorn and kingsblood. At least those are the two that sell a lot on my server.

It's what happens when you're bored. When you're really really bored. Just take it with a grain of salt, because it's what I think.
