If you want to start sharing recipes, just make a folder in your Google
Docs, e.g., called Recipes, and share it with everyone in your family,
giving them view only rights so that you make any changes, and they can
email you recipes for you to post to keep control of the thing in a
single person's hands. You could create a heirarchy under Recipes to
keep different kinds of recipes separate or structure it any other way
you want. People can print right from there, it will work on multiple
platforms, and you can limit viewing to only those people you want.

The only downside I"m aware of is that users would need to have a Google
username and password.
