Just a few small suggestions, otherwise very good.

Maybe you could have added a couple of helper functions to this exercise. One function to print a recipe and another to loop through an array of recipes printing each one.

There's another way to do it.

function countWords(string) {
  const wordCount = {};

  string.split(/\W+/).forEach((word) => {
    if (wordCount[word]) {
      wordCount[word] += 1;
    } else {
      wordCount[word] = 1;
    }
  });

  return wordCount;
}

You'd be surprised how often you need to use this technique to process a list and produce a tally like this. Let me know if you understand this. If the word is already a key on the object, incremement a counter. If it's not already a key on the object, set the key to a count of 1 (one word counted).
