 I would argue that there are very definitely bad recipes.  They're all kinds of people who throw things up on the web missing ingredients. And I mean ingredients essential to a reasonable outcome (eggs, yeast, baking powder, etc.).  Experienced cooks and bakers catch these but newbies can easily be taken for a ride.  There are recipes that are incredibly bad because they get screwed up when somebody tries to convert metric to imperial and vice versa. Perhaps we should be more precise and called them incorrect recipes rather than bad recipes.
