I personally believe that receipes as they are should go in wikibooks and have nothing to do with an encyclopedia. Having an history, description, use of a dish is another matter and can fit well in the encyclopedia. The receipe does not.
There is no finer description of a dish than a recipe, with major variants noted. This is why I say that a simple rule is wrong. It is true that a recipe should make up a part of a larger overall entry which explains the history, description, use, cultural context, geographical extent, etc. But such descriptions can be very well enhanced by having a recipe as well.

Exactly my point, thanks. In my previous message I tried to explain that a recipe alone is not enough :)
