Where to find food and drink recipe?

I heard that I really need to put skills in my alchemy and provisioning. So where do I find these recipes?

There's always gonna be some to buy from Brewers and Chefs, those that will go with your level for the daily writs. But other than that, it's just finding and looting them around the world. Sometimes they'll drop from enemies or you can look through guild stores. But just looting around while playing, you'll find them. I usually find them in backpacks, cabinets and such.

Hmm its weird I dont have any then. Maybe I didnt even pay attention to the recipes because Im just now getting into crafting seeing how important it is.

Alchemy doesn't have recipes that you can find. You just mix ingredients and if at least two ingredients share a trait, then the resulting potion will have that trait.

Provisioning recipes can be found on Chef and Brewer NPCs, by looting containers around the world (especially in cities), pickpocketing people, and from the reward containers of your daily provisioning crafting writ.

You can also browse the guild traders for the recipes.

So how important is doing these writs? Im guessing theres a daily for every profession?

They're a good source of gold, crafting XP and cases that can contain crafting supplies, recipes and/or maps pointing to large deposits of resources. I've gotten 100 units of ore or 50 rune stones from the maps.

Yes, there is. Doing them is not important, but provides a steady gold income with practically no effort (if you use Dolgubon's Lazy Writ Creator, a very popular addon - without it, the process takes longer and can be tedious).

I currently have 14 alt characters of level 15-35. Whenever I want to, I can go through there daily crafting writs once a day, it takes about 80 minutes and earns me about 50k gold. Gold gain is level dependent though, my earnings are fairly middle-of-the-road due to the level range of my characters.

Once you have maxed out your main crafting skill passive, you also get a chance for a "master writ" to drop from the reward boxes of that crafting profession. Master writs are specific crafting orders that (when completed) give you writ vouchers, which can be used to buy storage chests for your home, crafting stations for your home, some crafting materials, and more - you can also sell these things to other players if you just want more gold instead.

For me recipies tend to drop mostly from nightstands, backpacks, desks and dressers.

I rarely buy recipies from Chefs as they are so expensive. You can get most recipies for under 50g from a guild vendor - but you'll probably have to travel so it might not be worth it to you. I'm tight so I do it.
