Yes - they have Culinarian and Alchemist slated for new recipes and adjustments in the next patch, 1.20. The old recipes can still be used, and you can still use up any pre-existing materials you already have. The problem is they are removing so many mob drops and gathering items in this patch. When those drops people already have stashed on their retainers are all used up/sold, then those recipes will no longer be able to be used. That is fine for the other crafts who will have new recipes this patch to accommodate the drop changes. It leaves alchemists wondering what to skill on.
