The issue is it's still going to end up doing some aggregating second hand as users copy recipes they've found on other websites to CookTime, it won't be the website itself doing it but I'd imagine they're still liable to legal action for serving those recipes, and could be asked to take them down under a threat of fines.

The "fun" thing would be to growth hack your site by web scraping and then having that data posted under fake/bot accounts. Even more protection if you actually have bots from outside the company do it so there's some reasonable deniability. This is my level of pessimism from startup websites now.
