No, there's absolutely nothing wrong with using brand names in a recipe. The only thing you couldn't do is to sell your
own products and use someone else's trademarked name to market them. Eg, you could publish a recipe book in which you use Philadelphia cheese in a recipe, but you couldn't call your recipe book "The Philadelphia Cheese Cookbook", because that would be trademark violation.
