Perhaps. I haven't entirely made up my mind on
that.
But I do definitely think that we should have no articles consisting
solely of a recipe.

should describe what makes it what it is and how it is made, but be
vague enough that we include every possibility for that food. This
isn't a recipie.
On the other hand, we can ILLUSTRATE with sample recipes, just as we
can illustrate with sample photographs. Sometimes vagueness is too
vague; sometimes what is needed is a specific as an example. So long
as we note that variations do exist and this is just an example, we're
fine. Just as we illustrate, say, an article on Persian cats with a
picture of a specific cat; we do have to point out the possible
variations and that this is just an example, not the definition.
