Recipes aren't allowed on Wikipedia; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_no...

Apart from anything else, there's no WP:RS for a recipe; each authoritative chef will have their own perfectly-legitimate version.

They have https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Table_of_Contents as a separate project. Wikipedia articles should be structured as reference descriptions as opposed to how-tos, for the sake of readability and maintainability.
