Because the Recipe module fields are all 'Recipe module elements' instead of 'regular' fields its currently impossible to add Microdata mappings to them through the Microdata module. (please correct me if I'm wrong)
http://drupal.org/project/microdata

Why are the Recipe content type fields not 'regular' fields (text, etc) ?
Microdata support would be possible when using existing 'regular' fields.
http://drupal.org/node/1196440

For example if we would use a Text field for recipe_source, recipe_notes etc. we would be able to add a help text too, and we would be able to apply custom_formatters to them if necessary.
In other words: it would be a more flexible solution.

To give a bit more information about what we're trying to achieve, I've expressed some of my thoughts about recipes in Drupal here:

I'd love to connect / share ideas etc.

It's the same basic issue - Recipe's 'fields' are not fields in the true cck/ Field API sense.
