does anyone know where or how to find the recipes for bread, the soups etc please

Bread recipe can be bought at any of the Gloom realm traders. (Desert, forest, swamp)

The only soup recipe I know is Gazpacho and you can buy the recipe at the Desert Gloom trader.

Some foods will require a refined or Calcularian stove to cook them.

There is also broth, stews. You can check where all purchasable items are located in the trader tab. It's fun to see what you can pick up in a realm before you hit the trader. Or if you are cheap like me you wait until you have left that realm level to buy anything. Most stuff drops as rewards for free from doing the POIs.

Stew isn't a soup. Recipe for stew can be bought at the Herbarium Forest trader.
Broth is not a recipe you can buy it auto comes with the Refined mortar station.

Correction noted. Though some cooking basics may well have overshot the heads of many gamers, just saying... Julia would not approve of most of these recipes. So much oil, so much greasy overly expensively spiced foods. Quite takes the joy out of cooking unless you like to brag about the really old school days and think the more convoluted and complex the better. In a lot of ways that is the overall problem with this game. It's like they have made it for a demographic that was always small and may not even exist anymore in these days of options, more inclusivity, too many games to choose from. Just my take.

I like the crafting system, too many modern games require little or no thought.
There are far too many "souls like" muscle memory games currently, IMO.

Nightingale takes place in an alternate 19th century and if you look at recipes from the 19th century they were super heavy on lard as a cooking medium.

Julia Child promoted many oily and super buttery recipes, she did not believe in any health food tropes. I think she'd be okay with much of the Nightingale menu. :)
