Why shouldn't his recipe and cooking instructions be just as protected as IP as a book, or a song? Sure, his recipe has only minor differences from any other bread recipe, but those differences are enough to bring customers to him instead of his competition.
What makes his bread less proprietary than, say, a 12-note ringtone tune?
