While playing zOMG!, you occasionally earn recipes as items. (Either from defeating monsters or rewards for completing certain quests). These items appear as sheets of paper, which have instructions on what you need to collect to craft a particular object.
What am I supposed to do with a recipe now that I found it?
To use a recipe, you need to go to Back Alley Bargains (under shops). There is an option for making recipes under Nicolae's image. As long as you have the recipe and the required ingredients, you should be able to craft the specified item (i.e., exchange loot and gold to create the recipe item).
Why am I unable to use my recipe to create the item?
Unless you’re experiencing a particular glitch, the most likely reason that you cannot craft the item is because you’re missing part of the recipe. All recipes require particular pieces of loot and a certain a mount of gold to create the item. If you are missing something, then the recipe will be listed as incomplete. Otherwise, you should be able to select the exchange function to create the item.
For example, the pinwheel recipe requires the following:
arrow Plastic x3
arrow Branch x1
arrow Pinwheel Fin x1
arrow Gold x833
If you have all of the pieces and the gold, then the pinwheel can be created. If you are missing something (such as not having enough plastic) or lacking gold, then the item cannot be created until you collect enough.

Where can I find the ingredients for my recipe?
Loot is obtained by battling monsters, opening chests/boxes, and completing certain quests. Loot tends to be randomly dropped, although certain items tend to be awarded by certain monsters or in certain areas (e.g., lawn gnomes tend to drop screws).
