You can do this, the method depends on how much you know about CSS and making a WP theme, or how much you’re willing to learn. You can go from the simplest, to more complex and custom solutions.
Basically, just install default WordPress, default theme. Choose the options under WP-Admin to set the Role for New Users, and check that new users can submit a Draft. The “Form” they fill out is just the normal write-post form. Post title should be the name of the recipe. The category boxes are visible on the right, they can choose breakfast/lunch, or if they forget to choose then you can fix it before you Publish the post.
You can customize from there, by improving your theme or choosing another theme from http://themes.wordpress.net/
and modify things the way you want.
There are a bunch of nice plugins that could help your site, such as Custom-Fields GUI (if you want to make a custom Write Post form with things like a box for “Ingredients” and “Cooking Time”), and plugins to help you make an alphabetical index of the recipes by-title.

Here is what I have done so far. Let me know what you think. I want to have the user also rate each recipe with stars.
