What BetterRed suggested is the only little or no effort on your part approach I know of for Windows.
As for calibre... only thing I can suggest is that you copy & paste a list of recipes from each book into the Comments field (alternately: create a custom field). In this way you can use calibre's existing search (ex, comments:"=vegetarian chili") to find possible recipes. You would have to view each possibility individually to confirm which exact recipe you wanted, but this would cut down on the amount of work you would have to do.
