I'd create a directory, and call it Recipes.

If that's how I was storing my recipes, that would make some sense.
But, I'm storing them in a database, so I have a little more
flexibility in how they're presented.  If you were talking about a
beef brisket recipe, would you call it a beef brisket recipe, or a
beef brisket recipes?  In that context, which of:

/Recipes/Beef-Brisket 

/Recipe/Beef-Brisket 

seems more natural?

If I give in to the all plural routes convention, the case sensitivity
issue isn't a big deal at all.  Using my CamelCase preferences is as
simple as:

  scope :path_names => { :new => "New", :edit => "Edit" } do

      resources :movies, :path => "Movies"

  end
