I thought it would be cool if some lore unlocks relevant recipes when you read it, Gives you a reason to read the lore besides just the backstory. Also, in general, instead of having a blue print that unlocks a single thing, having something that unlocks a whole bunch, For instance you could find a cookbook that unlocks all recipes using wheat, or all hylotl food. Or an engineering manual that unlocks a whole bunch of tech. Or an architecture manual that unlocks a whole set of building recipes (all steel building structures, or all components of a glitch castle). You get the idea....
That's actually not a bad idea. Though making those items a little rarer then normal lore items would make sense if this was put in to the game.
