Recipes
Once on culinarian, you can learn basic recipes simply by leveling up. All crafting is done via the Crafting Log, where all recipes you've learned can be browsed as well. Note that some recipes may require obtaining and using various recipe books. Below are the currently available alchemy recipes.
In version 1.x, there was no need to learn recipes before using them. You simply placed the appropriate materials into the crafting interface. However, this meant that there was no compilation of recipes to browse, you had to know the right combination of materials to craft anything.
