My first thought was that I can't see what I'd want with an electronic cookbook. I certainly wouldn't want my ebook reader anywhere near the stove (full disclosure: I'm a bad -- and very, very messy -- cook). But I remember seeing some sort of e-cookbook in Sam's Club a while back, for about the price of an ebook reader, except supposedly kitchen-proof and pre-loaded with recipes. I'm not sure what it does about pictures; I think a small color screen is involved.
I'm not sure what you mean about Smashwords being a "format" ... they sell ebooks in many formats, most of which can handle pictures just fine. The bigger problem is that a lot of people would be trying to look at those pictures on a small screen in something like 8-level grayscale. That's fine for anti-aliasing text, but doesn't work very well when you're trying to show someone how the bacon is supposed to wrap around the chicken. It certainly wouldn't make for a mouth-watering picture of the finished dish.
I'm also a little confused about the purpose of this book. On one hand you're talking about selling it on Smashwords, but in the next sentence you're saying you want to have your recipes while traveling. Knowing the target market will make advising you a bit easier.
