Hi,

This could be done either by making a "copy" of the recipe, then saving it into a second or new node as a blog item.
Besides data duplication, If you edit the recipe: the blog will be out of sync.

That's not to say it couldn't be done, but it does not seem practical right now especially given there is not much development activity on recipe.
if you want to try it, you would need to understand a little about how blog entries get saved, then patch recipe.module to make a mirror copy to the blog tables.

Or you could write a cron job that copied new Recipe items into a blog post.

I'll close this right now as it doesn't seem likely anyone will step forward with a patch for this feature (but if someone does, it will be gratefully accepted. :-)
