~You miss the point. Many people do consider many recipees are encyclopedic, as some have cultural value.
Plus, do you have (or did you ever see ?) a paper version of the first encyclopedia set by the encyclopedists ? It was definitly a practical encyclopedia. Some people do consider that howtos belong to an encyclopedia.

I've been very puzzled by an apparent consensus or policy--one with which I obviously do not agree--that recipes in particular, and didactic or "how-to" articles in general, do not belong in Wikipedia.
If so many people want them, why not make a new project -- WikiHowto? Either that, or extend the scope of Wikibooks slightly.
