I believe you're using a double quote (") and when it maybe should have
been two singles ('').  In any case, you're missing a close quote above.

I haven't read the cookbook, but you really don't need to generate the
keys yourself.  All you really need to do is delete all files beginning
with "ssh_host" in /etc/ssh:

rm /etc/ssh/ssh_host*

Then when ssh is started, the keys will get automatically generated.
See /etc/init.d/ssh:

    start)
        if ! test -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key ; then
            echo Generating /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key.
            ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -N ''
        fi
        if ! test -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key ; then
            echo Generating /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key.

            ssh-keygen -t dsa -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key -N ''
        fi
        if ! test -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key ; then
            echo Generating /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.

            ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key -N ''
        fi
