The values in field 1 are of different types for cooking and crafting recipes, but both kinds of value are unused by the game. For cooking, the field is set to a pair of numbers. For crafting, the field is set to Home or Field.

Ingredients and yield

The ingredients are a space-separated list of numbers in pairs. The first number of each pair is an object index from Objects.xnb. (Negative numbers refer to categories, also listed in that article.) The second number of each pair is the quantity of that object that is required for the recipe.

The yield is also a space-separated list of numbers in pairs. The first number of each pair is an object or big craftable ID. The second number of each pair is the quantity of that object (or big craftable) that is created by the recipe. If there is only one object/craftable yielded, the quantity is optional and defaults to one.

Unlock conditions

The unlock conditions field supports any one of these condition types, depending on recipe type:
