Not without vision. You'd have to place all the tools and ingredients within reach at precisely known positions, probably all held in a special rig (like this: http://youtu.be/5sVOSlUn7e0 ). If something went wrong the robot wouldn't know and would continue executing the recipe with possibly disastrous results. Robots won't be replacing chefs until visual feedback is solved.

Okay, so no pancakes for the home. But McDonald's cheeseburgers... ;)
