This could be a double definition.

'instructions' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for recipe that I've seen before include "Instruction for cooking" , "Directions for preparing food, etc" , "Step by step method" , "Kitchener's instructions" , "Meal instructions" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
