First you will need to create a page that has the shortcode [recipe-list] on it. Then, in the Recipe Press settings page you need to select this for the "Display" page. If you want others to be able to share recipes, you also need to create a page with the shortcode [recipe-form] and select that as the "Submit" page. When a visitor views the page with the [recipe-list] shortcode the plugin will generate a list of recipes and will use that page to also display recipes, so you do not need to create a page for each recipe.
Check out the Recipe List shortcode usage page for more information on how to display recipes.
I also just noticed an error in the generated URLs when using the default type of permalink you are using. I will work up a fix for that shortly.
