I don't know if you have noticed, but the Church's sites very rarely link to external sites. I think that it may infer that the Church officially endorses them by having the link. I know that when Church Correlation reviews the contents of most of the LDS sites, they are really concerned about perception of the public and where people might misconstrue the intent of Church leadership.
Some of the few exceptions are the Newsroom (newsroom.lds.org) and this site (tech.lds.org). The first often needs to quote other media sources related to the Church and the latter is obviously publicly submitted content rather than Church generated content.
Well, back to the actual topic of this tread (legumes), I'm guessing that you are on the right track when you suggest that the recipes may be disappear because they shouldn't be considered "officially endorse recipes by the Church". It is sad that we can't just appreciate them for what they are, but in this litigious society we have to be careful of not only what is explicitly said but what someone might infer from it. (I have heard rumors that the Church is already constantly dealing with legal suits against them.)
