Write a script (maybe in Perl or Python) which looks for those
characters, and substitutes them into some printable representation.
If you need help, and give me an example, I can write for you such a
script.

I think that you can use an heuristic to fix the parentheses, assuming
that there are never nested parentheses:
Count both opening and closing parentheses. Odd-numbered (starting the
count from 1) parentheses are opening ones. Even-numbered ones are
closing ones.
You still will need some heuristic to deal with text which has open
parenthesis but not closing parenthesis, if there are such cases in your
documents.
About numbers, maybe you can assume that no number in a recipe can start
with 0. Again, this assumes some script work.
