Do try rice recipe in this book (9)
I believe the answer is:
directory
'this book' is the definition.
(directory is a kind of book)
'do try rice recipe' is the wordplay.
'recipe' indicates anagramming the letters.
'do'+'try'+'rice'='dotryrice'
'dotryrice' is an anagram of 'DIRECTORY'.
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for directory that I've seen before include "See 5" , "Telephone book" , "list of contacts" , "Reference book" , "Book listing names of inhabitants, users etc" .)
