recipes from cookbooks Christie

[Guest guest]

It's a great thing. We have you in the kitchen, the cookbooks sales have gone

up and you are eating for your health. No more boring same thing for 3 days in

a row over and over again meals. I know I love your dragon pie recipe.

PT , Amy, you and several others have shared a recipe from a cookbook that I

had to get on Amazon and buy immediately.

I don't want to get involved in the rest of this thread, but I did

want to say something about cookbooks. I think I have bought more

cookbooks since joining this group in December than I have in the

whole of the previous 10 years put together. Being in the group and

seeing all the recipes and hearing recommendations from people has

encouraged me to go out and buy more books and cook more good food.

So the cookbook authors have nothing to fear and much to gain as far

as I can see - I've spent at least £100 on cookbooks that I almost

certainly wouldn't have spent without the inspiration of this group.

Seeing it put like that I'm suddenly not so sure that is such a good

thing for me, LOL.

looked into some of the law on the copyright issues... although the

ingredients and amounts are not copyrightable; the textual

description of process most certainly is). It's a real problem for

hard working cookbook authors who deserve more than people typing

their recipes into a computer and sending them around the Internet

without at least having the courtesy to credit them.
