The rule is, that a collection of recipes can be copyrighted; an individual recipe cannot. I have recipes that have come from everywhere, and a lot that I got from other people; whether they are their own "original" recipes or not, I have no idea. Some of the recipes I submitted are my mom's or my "original" recipe and I don't give a hoot whether someone takes them and puts them in any cookbook or website and makes money off them. More power to them. And, to set the record straight, I was never claiming that all the recipes I submitted as MINE, nor did I suppose the all the other recipes submitted are "original" recipes. |
If you do use copyrighted material from a cookbook (exact ingredients and wording), you must include the original title, author, and copyright information.
