Well, MacGourmet allows you to publish selected recipes to a web server.
And Macs come with a very nice one (Apache) all set up and ready to go.

So I just do that, and then use any computer that's handy, or more than
one if we're "gang-cooking", with any browser, to go to the web site,
select the desired recipes, and view them.
