There are already social recipe sites, such as Allrecipes, where people share their own recipes and their own variations of well-known recipes. The Wikimedia Cookbook is just a freely licensed social recipe site.
If you look up a particular recipe online, you end up finding those 7,000 variations scattered across numerous blogs and websites. I don't see any requirement on the number of variations of a recipe that can be added to the Wikimedia Cookbook, and it's no worse to have some of them hosted here.

Also MediaWiki's format is fairly minimal in comparison to AllRecipes which has gained an ugly oversized SPO feeling and tries to sell you the ingredients. If this wiki gains enough popular use such that it appears high up in the search results for recipes like Wikipedia already does for general knowledge it would be extremely convenient.
