I do not believe it is a coincidence that, in the VMS, 161 "recipes" are marked by stars with red coloring.

Sorry, but your count is wrong.
Again I refer you to the Counting Things section, and this post in particular:

Out of a total of 324 stars in quire 20, there are 163 stars to which red paint has been applied.
Of these, 17 are fully red, and 146 only have red paint in the center.
These totals are not my opinion, they have been cross checked by forum members.
Considering that f109-110 are missing, it is likely that there were originally even more red stars.
So no, the 161 number doesn't match with anything in the Voynich Manuscript.
