I don't know what you're asking exactly.
Do you want to give the player an inventory item when he clicks on the hotspot or do you want to use an item from your inventory on the hotspot? Please rephrase.

my char. looking for recipe in drawer. since i can not open the drower i did a hotspot and i want wher touch it, display a massage "you took the recipe" and when the cha. look at the inventory she will find the recipe. i have the spirte in the inventory and tried "player give...." but when i open my inventory i see nothing (i specified the item no).

The simplest way to do this goes:
Create a variable called GotRec (this can be a Room variable).
Message 0 should say "You got the Recipe!" or something similar
Message 1 should say "There's nothing else in the drawer."

Make the drawer a hotspot.
In the Interaction Editor, it would look something like:

Interact Hotspot
 - Conditional: If variable is set to a certain value (GotRec, 0)
     Game - Display a message (0)
     Player - Give player an inventory item (1) [or what ever the inv number is]
     Game - Set variable value (GotRec, 1)
     Stop running more commands
Conditional: If variable is set to a certain value (GotRec, 1)
     Game - Display a message (1)

sorry for my ignorence but where can i find the "variable" to creat it?

In the Interaction Editor, when you open the 'Conditional: Variable set to a certain value' option, and click the 'change' button, you can see an 'Edit variable' button. This lets you create Room/Global variables.
