Subject: [PATCH] Update README.md

Following [this discussion](https://github.com/COSIMA/cosima-recipes/issues/472), small change to `contributing` section such that authors know they can also add themselves to .json file for zenodo. Would be good to also update [1](https://github.com/COSIMA/cosima-recipes/wiki/1.-Working-on-a-recipe) and [2](https://cosima-recipes.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contributing.html)

 ## Contents
 
 We are in the process of transitioning these recipes from using [cosima-cookbook](https://github.com/COSIMA/cosima-cookbook) infrastructure to load model output to an [_intake catalogue_](https://cosima-recipes.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Tutorials/ACCESS-NRI_Intake_Catalog.html). That said, you will find recipes that use either method to access model data.
