many times an image accompanies a recipe so an option to upload an image would be great.

I've worked around this limitiation by using the image attach module; setting it to automatically display the thumbnail in teaser version and the preview size at the bottom of the node, so if someone simply adds an image there to the recipe, it displays basically where I want it with no special intervention from the user.

Be aware that images added this way become nodes, and so you want your default settings to NOT promote to the front page. If you set default to not publish, the images will still be accessible when you upload them, but won't show in the dropdown for new image attached, which may or may not be what you're looking for.

Images should be attached via CCK. It might have some limitations in where you can place the image, but that's because CCK is attaching to the existing Recipe content type which is not very flexible. You may be able to exercise additional control over the image placement using some CSS.

In the future I expect Recipe will be rewritten in CCK3 or Fields and therefore integrate better.
