How the clue works
Right, so Forest is your definition there — a taiga's a boreal forest, that vast snowy woodland stuff. The rest of the clue's pointing at a tiger, the "fearfully symmetrical" beast dwelling in that forest, straight out of Blake's poem. Then "according to recital" is your homophone flag — say TIGER out loud and it sounds like TAIGA.
