Personally, I'd probably take the approach of adding a 'feed_item'
table to the database and tie it to the user with a 'has_many'
relationship
then when user x updates their favourites, you can put something like
"#{user.name} has added #{recipe.name} to their favourites" into the
feed_item table with a user_id passed in as a parameter, and you can
make these feed items appear on the homepage of whoever is following
or is friends with this user...
no plugins required (i don't think anyway)
