			Ok .. so I just had 2 days off work -- determined to lvl up my cooking skills. I am finding it VERY difficult to find the base recipes for Algoroc Eats -- any advice on how to get the base recipes for these would be appreciated! I need ONE more point  (4/5) so that I can skill up and hopefully make my discoveries less painful . . I mean .. much easier

For Exile, you can buy them from Chef Korda, and the Algoroc Soup recipe comes off the rep vendor from Algoroc
 
For Dominion, Chef Cecilia can sometimes have them under the "special" tab...she will have different inventory in either Deradune or Ellevar, so you can ride/fly around and check what she has in the two different locations.  The Algoroc Soup recipe is probably unattainable for Dominion, however (there are a few threads on here about it, with people saying you can get it off the AH, others disagree).  So, if you're Dominion, you're going to have a real tough time getting that star.

Yeah,..in Thayd,..academy corner, there is a cooking vendor with recipies.
 
 
My problem though is I can never get enough mats!    I can spend 30minutes killing those Chocobo Ostrich things and maybe get 1 Stringy Poultry. Uggg,...
 
I am fine with the Crafting being painful,.but man,..let me get mats! :p

Oh you silly naieve little sous-chef... Wait until you start trying to make Farside recipes with Hookfoot... a meat that only drops off of 4 spawns. No, no. Not 4 types of creature spawns. Four individual creatures. Three of which are sitting in the Shiphand quest and only have a chance at spawning - not guaranteed to be there. Only then will you know the true pain of cooking.

I can't find a single thing online backing up what you said about Chef Cecillia selling Algoroc Soup under specials. And I REALLY want this recipe...
