You have a few options. The first is to see if there is a save a copy function in the automation work flows. Even if not, one should be able to write an AppleScript to duplicate a "Pages" document.
Next is the question of batching. Is this a one time event? Do you want a contextual menu? Or perhaps a "folder action" that occurs every time a new file is added to your recipes folder and it is type "rtf". Also, are you going to attempt to process the recipe for example, look for ingredient lists and reformat them to one ingredient per a line. You might want to look at one of the recipe management software packages instead. My wife and children love Yummy Soup, though I have only tested it to seee if I can read a recipe and never made extensive use.
