LadyJohanna of Reddit offers the following tips: Turn on auto-loot and search every single container all over everywhere (especially delves) to find recipes, Provisioning mats, and other goodies. Thieving and laundering is encouraged; just don't get caught. Use green quality recipes to level. Blue and purple quality will not give more inspiration. The inspiration granted is based on recipe level, not recipe quality. Green is cheapest and most effective. Unless you have more ingredients than you know what to do with and you're cooking for your own alts or friends' characters -- then by all means go as fancy as you want. Many tri-stat foods sell very well to trial and PvP content players. Do daily Provisioning writs for a chance at purple-quality ingredients and more recipes.

For convenience, I used an old recipe spreadsheet to quickly paste the information in to this article. Some event and DLC recipes may be missing.
