Policy, perhaps. I don't want to enforce a strict limit, and on the whole humans are much better at determining appropriate lengths. However, I also agree with Hans that Summary: is intended for short descriptions and not full paragraphs. But, the Cookbook is also a wiki, so if something on a recipe page doesn't seem appropriate, anyone is free to modify it to something more appropriate. If that leads to a dispute then we can always discuss/moderate it here.
