I apologize for replying to myself, but I got the script for converting
cooking.com recipes into recipeml format finished.  It's only
requirement is the html2text utility (I was too lazy to do the html
parsing myself).

It requires you to save the recipe html file locally right now.  I'll
add http support tomorrow if I have the time.  It's been tested on 5
separate recipes and seems to work fine, but I'm sure there's probably a
bug or twenty in there (and the code is ugly as hell since I was racing
the battery on my laptop).
