Skyrim:Recipes

There should be some kind of way to tell if you already have a recipe.
It sucks when you buy a recipe and it is one you already have.

Get out a piece of paper and write them down, then look at the list
before you buy something.
Pretty simple eh?

Or, since recipes weigh nothing (or next to), just carry them around
with you.
That makes for a cluttered inventory so I prefer making a list.

I actually use my cellphone to take pictures of recipes. Even easier
eh?

The thing is that there are at least four recipes for invisibility
(and probably everything else). If you buy one and find another for
sell, you have no way to know if it is one you have seen or not.

Well that works too - I tend to use post it notes myself and just stick
em to the side of the computers.

Well if you have a recipe for invisibility you don't really need to buy
another.

I mostly skip the buying and just eat ingredients and experiment with
combinations to find potions to make.
I rarely take potions, so the "bad" ones are just as good to me to sell.

Always preferred to make health/mana/stamina regen items over carrying
lots of potions - ever since Daggerfall.
