Keyword Density in Body in one page report.
Jonathon - you can manually count just by looking at the source code, and then compare to SEOmoz vs. others. If we're off, please let us know via an email to help at seomoz dot org. Also, just FYI - density and frequency are very different things The former refers to the total count of words/phrases divided by the number of instances of a particular keyword and isn't a very useful or used metric: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/10-myths-that-scare-seos-but-shouldnt-whiteboard-friday has more on that.

Has anyone noticed slight drops in the Domain mozRank of their sites since the OSE update?
A bit of a late response here, but yes, there is usually a reworking of things at each update. Rand has said that it's best to use the metrics to compare your site to a competitor each time, rather than your site to itself over time.

Are recipes excluded from duplicate content?
Even though the recipes are the same, I doubt they'd be penalized for having duplicate content. If the search engine decides that it's duplicate content, it may filter out one or the other, and may knock one page down in the search results. If your first page of results was all the same page from different domains, the search engine would have failed you. The duplicate content penalties you're thinking about are more for spammers and spam content, where they're duplicating a lot of content, and doing it intentionally. In your example, there is a lot else on the page other than the ingredients and the recipes, so that also should mitigate some of the duplication, and they're also laid out a bit differently in the HTML between the two pages, one with divs and one with tables.
