A hundred replies later, here’s what I gathered:
— people seem to like the idea :D
— there are other projects with similar idea of making recipes publishing more communal
— there are quite a few recipe formats: Schema.org, FatHub, RecipeML, h-recipe, Cooklang
— semantic markup is a must
— discoverability will be tricky
— Nextcloud has a cookbook app; it is unclear how it works with (federated) Nextcloud Social
— name ideas: Recipedia, Cookwyrm :blobcatgoogly2:
I’m quite hyped to say the least

Recently checked out the nextcloud cookbook, which I understand uses the schema.org definition for recipes which, somewhat clownishly, types ingredients as Text (instead of a triple of unit, amount and type of ingredient). This is a very bad idea that makes automatic scaling impossible.
