I am stuck on my first crafting writ for provision. However its asking me to use a lowbie recipe that I don't have access to. The writs for this craft are annoying because its asking you to make stuff you don't have access to.
Buy the recipes in the Guild Kiosks. If your character is being asked to make low level stuff, that is because their recipe level is low. You will get low level recipes in the writ reward, keyed to your recipe level.
If you can't find the recipe, then buy the crafted food. As long as it is crafted, it matters not who makes it. I bought a 100 stack of Lemon Flower Mazte and a 58 Stack of Clarified Syrah Wine as those are two rare Green L1 Recipes. Until I find them, I have the food to provide the writs so I get a chance for the recipe.
Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

If you have been trying you would have found them. I just sold a few of them out of the Guild Kiosk in Ebonheart last night. I have bought them from Kiosks in Bal Foyen, Ebonheart, Daggerfall, Auridon, Marbruk, Rawhkla. I have bought both L1 food/drinks and L1 recipes in these places.
Otherwise abandon the quest, wait 24 hours and grab another one and hope they have a different food or drink.

Really? I thought you had those recipes. Technically they are both L10 recipes, L1 to learn but produce L10 food. I really should find a trading guild to join that has a kiosk. Nestor, if you ever do need some food you don't have a recipe for, give me a yell, I owe you for the times you've helped me out.
OP, In truth, you only need to use them until you're able to get to the next Region and have a provisioning skill of L20. If you're just interested in playing buy the lowest ingredients and make what you can, search furniture outside of the cities, as well as trying to find them inside. Look for jugs, bags and urns if they are available, they're a good source in general being classified as furniture apparently. The mid level Region 1 recipes are in the L5-L10 critter areas, the high level Region 1 recipes are in the end part of the regions where the L11+ critters are.
Oooh look, lot's of Butterflies! Wait! Butterflies? Get out of here Sheo, stop bugging me!
