I see this as more a place for a Wikibook recipes book. An article that consists of 15 pages listing all the variations on chocolate cake is ridiculous for an encyclopedia.
Indeed. We *have* a Wikibook for recipes, last I checked, and it's supposedly where all those "transwiki to recipes and delete" stuff goes. Of course, Wikibooks isn't quite Wikipedia.
[[WP:NOT|Wikipedia articles are not]] recipes. They might conceivably contain recipes, or they might be about recipes (random thought- we have an article anywhere about that Neiman-Marcus or however you spell it cookie recipe story that you hear all over? :). However, I would think that a brief description of the content of a dish would usually be more encyclopedic-feeling than a recipe. And yes, the mood is one of the issues.
