I'd like to play with alchemy, but can't find many recipes....
I sure could look directly in the source code (rather the alchemy definition file), but that'd be cheating
Is there a nice place in the game to find recipes?

TIA!

Along with monster and item descriptions, and lists of spells, alchemy recipies turn up in books. There's three places I know of to read books:

• The public libraries
  
  There's one in Scorn, and another in Navar. They don't allow borrowing, so the books are chained to the shelves. :)
• Magic shops
  
  There's rumour of a store that specializes in books.
• And, of course, dungeons.
  
  However, I'm not aware of any dungeon that's particularly crammed with books, nor of a monster that carries library-type volumes.

*flips through his library in the fifth Scorn apartment pocket reality*

Fair warning, though: as an example, to make a balm of asbestos (which gives 50 fire resistance for a time), you'll need to have already killed a dragon. Rings (jeweler) are worse.

Oh, yes. Alchemy recipies are described in other places, also; for example, the 'workshop row' in Scorn.

where in the source code are the recipes?

If you have compiled crossfire in your computer, then just run the command with an argument like this:
crossfire -m7

And if not, check share/formulae, which contains all recipes, but without archetypes's names (so you'll see: dust_generic, stuff like that). Harder to read, granted
