The original NEI patch wasn't written by Mevans and he doesn't know how to do it, I guess. Nor has he the time for it. I would love it if anyone could write an updated NEI compatibility patch.

However, there are other ideas how to solve the recipe problem. It has been discussed if the game should have wiki links or even a complete ingame browser for the wiki. Another idea is to have recipe sheets as loot in chests or buyable items. They would be items that you can read to see one specific recipe. For example you could find the recipe for apple crumble in a hobbit hole.
