LOL... I added a PB and Banana treat yesterday, it's with oatmeal and you chill them to make a cooling treat. |

Yours sounds like it would be a great way to soothe them when teething or a great treat on a hot day. Mine are a little different, they are baked in the oven to make dog biscuits and they don't have oatmeal in them. |

Just to give an update on where we stand for recipes. We have 317! Great job guys! We need 83 more and then we can continue to the next step! So please, if you have not submitted your recipes yet, please do so! Thanks so much! |
Just added another couple recipes - we're up to 357!!! :cheer: Still need more though! |
Just Added Recipe Very Easy To Add Recipe ! Just Added Mine To The Website ! Can't Wait Till It Is Done. |
I added a recipe, looks like its getting close to the next step now. Yeah!!! |
This is great everyone! I can't wait to show you all the front cover! it's all finished! It's so cute!!!! just wait till you see it! |
WOW...the recipes are coming on in...I will be proofing today. I have a couple more recipes to add also. |
It looks like there are 409 recipes now. :D May we continue to add more? |
Please Read I have been proofing recipes today and unfortunately made a discovery that I need to make you aware of--please do NOT submit recipes that are not your own. Do NOT take recipes off websites (like Food Network, Southern Living, All Recipes, etc.) or out of other people's cookbooks (like Emeril, Ina Garden, Bobby Flay, etc.) and claim them as your own. This is copyright infringement and YT can get in serious trouble for this. I have seen several recipes like this. My suggestion--if you submitted recipes from another cookbook or website, PM me (or another proofreader) and we will delete them from the cookbook. It would be so much easier to let us know now, than for us to have to look up every single recipe submitted. Most of you have submitted (I'm sure) your own recipes...this is just a heads-up for those that did not know about copyright laws!:eek: ~What is copyright infringement? Copyright infringement occurs when a person copies someone else's copyrighted items without permission. This would also include public display of a copy of copyrighted work. ~What kind of penalties can be imposed for copyright infringement? If it is determined that a person is guilty of copyright infringement, penalties could include a court order to stop producing that item, confiscation of the items, and paying the owner of the copyright any profits you received (or could have received) as well as attorney fees. |

Would you please check that? I went back to another thread about the cookbook before I submitted a certain recipe and found this quote by Mistyinca "Years ago, I used to belong to an online text-based web service called GEnie (anyone remember that one?) Anyway, we'd share recipes formatted for recipe programs. As far as copyright goes, this is what I learned: Individual recipes are not copyrighted. Compilations of recipes are, as well as the unique stories and such that goes with it. So as far as I recall, the magic number was 3. If you were including 3 recipes from any one book, then it was copyright infringement. If you take a so-and-so's recipe for say tuna casserole, and you have found that you don't add peas to it, but greenbeans, it is YOUR recipe now anyway. Maybe you don't add 1/4 ts black pepper, but 1/8 teaspoon. Same thing. Maybe you don't boil your noodles first, but add extra liquid to it and bake it all together--see where I'm going... Hope that helps," It was this thread and post #8 http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...light=cookbook That's the information I used and many others may have also. I submitted one recipe from a cookbook...the Oreo-inspired cookies. The other two are our own family recipes. Please remove it if you find that it is a copyright violation. Thanks! Judy |
A recipe cannot be copyrighted however a cookbook can be. You can still use a recipe out of a cookbook, but if too many recipes out of one cookbook are used, the copyright could be infringed. In practical terms this means that if there is any doubt, you should put the instructions of the recipe in your own words and try not to use too many recipes from one source. If there is still a concern, you should cite the source. Copyright law states: A mere listing of ingredients is not protected under copyright law. However, where a recipe or formula is accompanied by substantial literary expression in the form of an explanation or directions, or when there is a collection of recipes as in a cookbook, there may be a basis for copyright protection. What does this mean? Well, it means that the ingredients and method for cooking a dish, as listed in the recipe, cannot be copyrighted. However, the exact text used to explain the directions as to making the dish can be copyrighted, assuming there is enough there to count as intellectual effort. (For example, the instructions "mix well and serve immediately" surely could not and would not be copyrighted - but five paragraphs detailing preparation could be) However, if the method of preparation was completely re-written by someone, it doesn't seem to matter if it describes the same method, or an altered method, it's not a copyright violation. http://everything2.com/index.pl?node...0for%20Recipes |
If there is still concern around the issue, we should speak with Morris. They are very knowledgable in this area. Until then, I would recommend not deleting anything. |
Sorry ladies... I was going by the information I saw on several on the recipes. All of the ones I looked at had the following statement somewhere on them: "This recipe is copyright protected and may not be reproduced without ____'s (Food Network, Emeril, Southern Living, etc.) consent." I will back out of the argument now with one last statement, "If I made up the recipe OR had won prizes for the recipe OR had it published in a national cookbook OR had my own TV show where I demonstrated it on national TV, I don't think I would want someone else claiming it as their own." Once again, sorry and thanks for setting me straight! |
I havent added yet...I'll add tonight and I'll ad the cake we had for the birthday party for the dogs. |
If you ask me, that would be some amazing feat to come up with 400 absolutely original recipes that had never been published anywhere before. :eek: Everyone gets their recipes from somewhere, modifies it a little bit, and calls it their own. I get most of mine from www.allrecipes.com, and just change an ingredient or measurement here and there, add a little something else, and ta-da! It's mine. :) |
Where did it specify that the recipes were to be our own original recipes? I thought it was supposed to be our favorite recipes. And as the poster previously stated, all recipes come from SOMEWHERE...there's nothing truly original out there. All you have to do is change ONE ingredient to make it "original" anyway. 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. |
I think we owe Vallery a debt of gratitude! She has volunteered to do editing on the cookbook and to promote it tirelessly. I want to clarify here that I was trying to support her and not attack her in any way. The issue of copyright law is VERY important and serious. I agree with her on that. I just think the issue needs to be researched a little more before recipes are removed. I am very proud of everyone's participation in the cookbook! Ya'll (as we say in Texas. :) )are doing a GREAT job! Thank you to YouGetTheSmiles, Vallery and all of the other editors for this wonderful project. :thumbup: |

You make a good point, I don't think we can just ignore those recipes. That statement will have to be removed and the issue dealt with on those recipes. I don't see how they can be copyrighted unless they include extensive instructions on how to prepare the dish, but never the less, I think we should look into those. I'm not sure if we can just cite the source or if we need to rewrite the instructions. Could you PM the name of one of those and I'll look into it further. That's a Great Catch! Unfortunately, I have entered recipe contests and I have had to sign a piece of paper acknowledging that while the recipe was my own unique creation, it would be made available for public use. It just goes with the territory of creating your own recipe and entering it into a contest. You would hope that anyone using it would give you credit but they don't have to. Hopefully, no matter where the recipe came from, it is a tried and true recipe that someone has tried and loves. |
The hospital guild has these cook-books every year and they are so nice and I appreciate all the work you are putting into this one. Do you think saying "Mary Jones is including a recipe she loves" or has used often or makes for her family. Rather than: Mary Jones recipe ???? might be better. |
Are we allowed to use the actual name brand of a product in the recipe as in: Zip Lock, Lowery's, Crisco.... or should we say freezer bag, shortening? |

If you do use copyrighted material from a cookbook (exact ingredients and wording), you must include the original title, author, and copyright information. |
The ingredient list is never a problem, since it cannot be copyrighted. The instructions can only be copyrighted if they are extensive. For example, if the directions for a recipe say to mix this and this and then combine with that and then bake in oven, they cannot legally be copyrighted. If the directions for a recipe are copyrighted, then just citing them without permission of the author is still a violation. I recommend that we just ask that whoever submitted a recipe that is in question, rewrite the instructions using their own words. Whether or not the instructions to a recipe are copyrightable, it would still be nice to mention where you originally got the recipe. |
I haven't logged back onto the site after adding my recipes, so could someone tell me if more recipes are needed??? Also, if I add more is there a way that I can see which ones I already added?? I didn't keep track of which ones I added..... |
yes, when you log back in to the recipe site, choose to look at the recipes "by contributers" and you should find you name...thanks for adding more! |
We need more Dog recipes too. We don't even have enough for a complete section in the cookbook. |
