If you are talking about making a stock ROM (.img) into a flashable zip file then you will need android kitchen.
1. Place both boot.img and system.img into Original_Update folder
2. In kitchen click option 1
3. Pick the option that says system.img and boot.img
4. Follow the onscreen instructions
5. Build using option 99.
6. Flash in CWM or TWRP!

To make the recovery.img flashable in CWMR recovery you would have to create a flashable zip that writes the raw .img file to the recovery partition. The commands to flash it to the recovery partition would be similar to this:
Code:
ui_print("ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.1");
ui_print("for Your Device Name Here");
show_progress(0.500000, 0);
ui_print("Writing recovery image");
package_extract_file("recovery.img", "/tmp/recovery.img");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "dd", "if=/tmp/recovery.img", "of=path/to/recovery/partition");
delete("/tmp/recovery.img");
ui_print("Complete!");
Note: The ui_print and show_progress commands are just to make it easier for the user to understand what is going on and for a clean look.
The structure for the folder of the flashable zip would be similar to:
META-INF->com->google->android->update-binary and update-script
recovery.img (In the same folder as your main zip do not put this in the META-INF folder)
I would also recommend checking out this guide to edify scripting and creating flashable zip's. Let me know if you still have questions .
