You don't need a new Maven project, no. You *could* if you wanted to, and depend on Mahout artifacts in your project. You could write a module within Mahout's project if that's more convenient.
If you're just playing around, just stick files somewhere in the core/ module, wherever you like. That way it's all automatically compiled and such. It's not a good setup for a real project, but fine for experiments. For example you could create src/com/salazar/recommender/MyRecommeder.java in core/ You can put the .csv file wherever you want. When you run the short driver programs like you see in the book, you just need to change them to refer to the file's location on your system.
