Not in the way you would imagine a normal package manager to do an uninstall. 
You would have to write an explicit cookbook::uninstall recipe to handle the 
removal of a recipe.  Basically have it undo everything that your install 
recipe would do; there is no facility to "rewind" the actions your Resources 
do automatically. 

I thought it would be a cool idea to add this on the Provider level and it 
seems possible on the abstract level, but when you sit down to implement 
it... it gets complicated really fast.
