Hello all

Bit of a newb question, but I've been happily putzing around the starter island, gathering crafting materials and getting punted off roofs by bandits to my death. I wanted to slow down a little and work on my chosen professions, specifically provisioning. Now, on my first character I made (only got to 3 before I realized I could choose more than a one word name), I had picked up a provisioning recipe. Somewhere. And on this toon I have instead a random alchemy recipe.

Is there somewhere I buy provisioning recipes? I read elsewhere that recipes come from random boxes and dressers in homes and such, is that true?

Thanks for the help!
