{{Expand-section|date=June 2008}}
The album finds Bad Religion continuing the experimentation of its predecessor, ''[[Generator (album)|Generator]]'', introducing elements of [[country music|country]] and [[Folk music|folk]] on songs like "Man With a Mission", and "Struck a Nerve", the latter of which includes a guest vocal by [[Johnette Napolitano]] (of [[Concrete Blonde]]). "Man With a Mission" featured a slide guitar part over a standard punk guitar "gallop"

Like Bad Religion's albums up to ''Generator'', ''Recipe for Hate'' was recorded at [[Westbeach Recorders]] in [[Hollywood, Los Angeles, California|Hollywood, California]] in 1993. This is the last time they would record an album there, until 2002's ''[[The Process of Belief]]''.
During the recording of the album, [[Johnette Napolitano]] (of [[Concrete Blonde]]) and [[Eddie Vedder]] (of [[Pearl Jam]]) were invited to the studio to provide backing vocals on some of the songs.

Vedder also provided backing vocals on "[[American Jesus]]" and sings the second verse of "[[Watch it Die]]".
