Any form of "you mail 10 and they mail 10...etc." is a form of chain
letter, which is of course, "illegal". No matter if they purport recipes,
maps of hidden treasure, ideas for new games, et al. - the mere act of
asking or telling someone to duplicate this letter X amnount of times (or to
your friends) is called a chain-letter intent.
BTW- anyone with UseNet access can get free recipes from the alt or
rec.foods groups or use gopher to weed out the cookbooks online.
