I read on a few different places about these, but the more I dig, the more I come up against a brick wall.
Asked in various guilds I am in, some people say they never heard of them, others saying not in game.
Can I get some confirmation either from zos or others to say yay or nay.
The info I read, I took from here.

One-Use Recipes
The exceptions to permanent recipes are one-use recipes! But wait! -- Do not be disappointed by finding a one-use recipe, because these are particularly valuable! A one use recipe may not have common duplicates around for you to sell or be reusable again in your menu, but one-use recipes are worth much more than their weight in gold – because they let you make yourself AWESOME stuff. A one-use-recipe you find may allow you to make yourself something you merely have to then eat or drink to get a permanent health, magicka or stamina buff – or some other super long-lasting buff to your player-character.
