This is due to having all my prov. mats on a Provisioning alt...have 0 room for all these mats along with herbs, and enchanting etc. mats. What do you guys/gals do when it comes to remembering what mats you need for your writs? Do you use a add-on?

And question #2, is there a way to see my known recipes without interacting with a cooking fire?

Thanks for any help my friends..be safe!

First, to see what ingredients what recipe needs, use the following guide to print out the recipes, then you will know what you need if you know the food or drink being asked for:

Now some keys to efficiency:

TBH, if a Writ asks for an item, I make 12 of them with my higher level Provisioner then send them to the Alt (my alts are L4 and don't have the skill points to unlock the provisioning passives that give more portions). I have 8 characters, 6 of whom are doing Provisioning Writs everyday. I rarely make any food for them, I already have them in my bags. This is because the items asked for tend to repeat over and over again. Maybe once a week I do some cooking.

Inventory Insight is good (if it's still current) for seeing the Inventory of another character.

Here is a hint for Bag Space, and its a nice one if you already have a horse or, you have the Imperial Edition and can buy a horse for 1Gold. Start upgrading the bag space on your horse. Soon you will have all the room you need.

Also, I use the bank now to store Provisioning Mats, as we only need about 50/55 slots now for Provisioning Mats. Heck you probably only need 20 slots to make 90% of what your going to be asked to make from Writ quests, especially if your only using one character for this, or all your provisioners are at the same level.

I use Khrill Crafting Post It addon. Whenever you are at a crafting table and have a Crafting Writ active, it shows what you have to make and your progress towards completion.

As far a keeping ingredients on a mule, I quickly found that the provisioning writs repeat every few days so at a specific level, the # of mats I have to keep either on my character or in the bank is actually very few.

My level 50 writs have asked for:

Argonian Saddle-Cured Rabbit (meat)
Fresh Apples And Eidar Cheese (fruit)
Pickled Carrot Slurry (vegetable)

Arenthian Brandy (alcoholic)
Khenarthi's Wings Chai (tea)
Sipping Imga Tonic (tonic)

So I've had to use Cheese, Apples, Small Game, Carrots and Saltrice for food, Jasmine, Honey, Lemon, Ginko and Surilie Grapes for drinks.

Two of the foods and two of the drinks have one common ingredient, so I need just these ten ingredients in all and they aren't hard to get (once you realize you have to kill rabbits for small game).
