For vanilla dust you don't even need a hook; you can just set the dustType field using the SetDefaults method to the type of the dust you want.
Basically, you use an if statement to check for the type, and return 0 if you don't want the item to be consumed. For other items to be consumed normally, you return numRequired after the if statement.
All this happens in a class that extends ModRecipe. Then instead of creating an instance of ModRecipe, you create an instance of your new class and add that.
