There are places like internet archive that preserve things like videos, images, audios, books and programs, but I have not seen any website that preserves only cooking recipes, do you know of any?
IDK if this is what you’re after, but looks like theNY Historical Society started putting old recipes online.
Also, the New York Times has a cooking site with all their recipes they’ve ever published or received. Apparently, it’s vast. Though, it looks like you gotta pay for it.
Were these helpful?
Uh… what? The Internet Archive archives web pages, and cooking recipes are on web pages.
has a large archive of recipes, all freely licenced under Creative Commons CC-BY.
Contains traditional and modern recipes.
Additional info:
There is a collected recipe book available here:

(well there will be, once the Internet Archive is back up and fully running.)
The Foodista site has many trackers, recommended to use NoScript/Privacy Badger addons to view.
Wikisource has many: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Category:Cookbooks
Cooking recipes can not be copy written, even big name recipes are all over tge internet.
