True, but the book doesn't give any indication as to the synergies or why certain recipes work and others don't which seems like the crux of the game.

Well, with this prototype of a game made in 7 days, you could ponder why certain ingredients could make an epic potion for example, and then from there, remember what items had the best synergy.
But overall, I do get your point and if I could go back in time, I would have added the synergies in the book instead of the whole recipes that can't indicate things directly at the moment.
