I had a hard time with the Syrah Wylie wine recipe, myself. I found it by stealing from: the inn in the first major city, constant trips back to the house I woke up in, the bank, and any citizens' homes that were unlocked. (Locked ones seem to have someone angry in them when I enter.) Making the rounds to do this for about 2-3 days, as I did my usual other stuff, not only finally got me that recipe but plenty of others, a racial motif, and lots of good treasure to fence. I didn't want my character to be a thief, but it seems the best way to find recipes and motifs I've found.
Provisioning is a pain--I'm currently stuck on Carrot Soup and Golden Lager.
Good luck. I'm on NA XB1 server myself, in DC. But I'm still looking for a fishy stick recipe for my second character.

I suggest checking all the guild vendors in each city. I've found many writ recipes that way for around 400g each

The Syrah Wylie wine recipe smh, yea that one took forever for me to find as well. I actually gave up for a bit trying to find it and I happened to loot a chest on a mission and found it. I was surprised and ecstatic. But the Fishy Stick recipe is proving much harder and now I'm finding recipes that I already know. Le sigh. But I'm making a nice chunk of change selling them. If you're looking to join a guild fancy let me know! We dungeon regularly.

I might take you up on that. First I have to figure out which guilds to quit, though. I'm in one with friends, the rest were all spam invites.

I started another character. A Kajiit in Aurbiron or whatever its called. And after a few quests i stole the Fishy stick from a basket from one of the merchants outside. And boight the serile sarah wine recipe from a guild merchant there in the first city you start in. FINALLY!!!
