If you have a very large book, a script could be written to do this.
If you look at this script:
http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Automatic_import_of_images:_Versions_not_requiring_Tkinter
you will see that what this does is take the images from a directory, 
create image frames with a particular set pattern, create new pages as 
needed.

For yours you would be working with text frames, so you need to rummage 
around the Wiki for scripts that show how to make text frames and enter 
content.
Beyond that, it would require some organization of your text so that 
individual recipes could be in individual files, OR you would have to 
create a way of parsing the file to break it down into individual recipes.

It's a lot of work of course, but potentially very rewarding.
