our cooking recipes and i made a tab called "all recipes"

That''s the way the Facebook privacy implementation works. It is  
covered in the API documentation for Facebook. There are ways to  
display an alternate name (like "Anonymous Coward") instead of a blank
name, but no way to override a user''s privacy settings.

You can access the name of the person. When you get the name of the  
person, you get the name in the context of a specific individual. This  
defaults to the current user. Privacy is built-in here.

For performance reasons, you should probably be using the fb:name tag.  
I think the option you want is :ifcantsee
