Answer: as many as you can possibly afford.
Have a look at your competition. Most cookbooks now have many photos. Buyers want photos of every recipe if at all possible.
Cookbooks are collector items. Many people buy a cookbook because the idea of it attracts them. They may never use a single recipe from the book or they may add many of the recipes to their favorites file. Often they just want to browse through them. For instance, in a recent interview with +Nigella Lawson, she talked about her collection of over 500 cookbooks, many of which she has not even had the opportunity to read, but there they are for future reference or just for a fun read when she has time to relax.
With the availability of digital technology it is easier than ever to scan photos and add them to your cookbook file. The cost of color printing is the only factor that will restrict the number of photos that you should include in your cookbook.
