where are domains being mentioned with respect to google-base?
what type of data is planned to be inserted or queried?
http://code.google.com/apis/base/

for the google-base-data-api all inserts
on done by google on google's servers --
so, there is no practical use for localhost
in this regard.

generally, there are two avenues for testing:
(1) use the dry-run option during the insert --
the item is not physically inserted into google's
data-store but the returned xml can be inspected
to verify potential results;
(2) use a custom item-type -- custom item-types
are not subject to the same strict policies or
requirements as google-defined item-types.

dry-run and custom item-types allow
some degree of a testing environment.

all that's required for testing otherwise is
generally -- a valid, active, google-base account
and adding your development api-key to requests.

however, most google-defined item-types --
such as housing and products -- do not
in any way allow testing.

using test or example data for google-defined "live"
item-types may get the item or website disapproved --
and may require intervention by google.

recipes has rather lenient policies and
requirements; but there are requirements --

what errors are being seen during the recipes insert?
what does the sent and returned xml look like?
is the proper google-base account information --
email-login and password -- being used?
try using the demo api for the insert --

that said, authorization to use your application
is another topic altogether; authentication may
require api libraries and application code to be
hosted on a user's machine or on a website --
but where the application is hosted is somewhat
outside the scope of the actual data inserts.
