It certainly wasn't the first one I noticed this problem with; it's much, much worse (and makes actually reading the Epub much harder) with a lot of 1980s-2000s chemistry and biology texts, where a single-line formula that has been converted to a graphic gets its own page. I'd suspect something with LaTEX except that nobody uses LaTEX for cookbooks.

I took a look at the free sample of that book and found that it makes frequent use of page-break-before and page-break-after to force images to each appear on their own page. This was apparently done to mimic the formatting of the print edition of that book.
Conversion to KFX format usually replaces page breaks with actual splitting of the content into separate files, and that is the case with this book. While the sample in AZW3 format contains 15 HTML files the equivalent KFX version has 27.
Of the Kindle formats KF8 (AZW3) most closely reflects what the publisher provided to Amazon. KFX is highly processed and when converted to EPUB can differ significantly in the details of HTML formatting.
If retaining the original formatting is important to you I suggest looking into ways of avoiding KFX, such as using Download & Transfer via USB from Amazon's website.
