The specific expression of a recipe is protected. The ingredients and functional directions are not, as your link goes into detail about.

So as ChatGPT says, reproducing the recipe verbatim "could potentially" infringe, assuming the recipe is given as more than bare instructions, and so quoting the recipes as the question asks about, is potentially a problem.

Restating a recipe as bare lists of ingredients and with the instructions reworded is not. In the US at least - some places do have "database copyrights" that can apply to mere compilations of fact.
