Where and how do you get recipes?

So I know you can find recipes for crafting in explore, but... how? Is there a guide on how to get them somewhere that I'm missing?

This guide should help you. For each recipe, there are info on how to get it.

For more specific info on exactly which encounter can give you a recipe, you can take a look at this guide.

Some recipes are easier to find than other, so don't get discouraged if it seems like you never get some of them!
