Question about sharing recipes with [another] group--semi-OT

[Guest guest]

That is very very true. The internet has changed many things on sharing

everything and made it

very easy and quick. Feel complimented if folks want to share a recipe of yours

that they have enjoyed making with others.

We all benefit from the cooking creations that we all come up with. Where

would we be without the volunteers

in this world and that is what we are all doing when we share recipes and other

helpful tips!!! Making this world a better place, shouldn't revolve around

money, but helping each other.

Once you post a recipe, it's out there. You won't keep it under lock and key.

I was also wondering about how you share recipes, so this is good to

know. When I first started looking for recipe groups, particularly

fresh dairy/nut-free recipes for my son, I d to a bunch and

began to forget what questions I posted where. So, now I narrowed it

down to mainly 4 fairly active, informative, groups w/yummy recipes,

including this one!

 

I can't see myself taking recipes and posting them everywhere on the

Net. Geesh, people have a lot of time on their hands! Actually, even

though you can download ANY recipe online, I still buy cookbooks if

the photos are spectacular, and if 75% of the recipes look delish.

It's just nice to 'own' the collection, and give 'props' to the chef.

Anyone else feel this way?

personal recipe posted by others then you might think twice about

posting it.

They may be able to steal your recipes, but they will never replicate

the warmth and caring you show us.

Thanks for sharing freely and making me feel like a part of your happy

family!!

make a good recipe out of a cookbook only to copy it down to share

with family and friends?

Hi Donna

 

Sorry I am so late responding, a family member had a heart attack and I have

been ill myself so have had so much on my plate that I have just barely been

able to keep up with my own group (and have over 4000 backlog posts in this

one but refuse to delete!!).

 

Thanks so much for your response, Donna, which definitely seems the most

sensible answer – I have already shared your Yellow Submarine Soup recipe,

of course mentioning both yourself and the group, and have also shared some

of Ellen’s both from here and another group, again giving acknowledgement to

her and the group.

 

This is such a minefield, which is why I asked the question, I want my own

group to be as “ethical” as possible but sometimes I don’t know where I got

a recipe, and so many times people post recipes with no original source, so

apparently not everyone is as concerned as I am to acknowledge the

originator but I will continue to do so where I am able. And you are right,

if someone does not want their recipes shared, they should not post them on

the internet.

 

Thanks again Donna.

 

Carolyn

Question about sharing recipes with [another]

group--semi-OT

 

 

 

Once you post a recipe, it's out there. You won't keep it under lock and

key. I have seen my very own personal recipes in other groups with no credit

given. An ex-member even re posted my recipe to the vegetarian group. There

are many with members who don't even cook and yet they sit all

day and copy and paste recipes from various groups or links off the net, to

other and other various places on the net.

They sell stacks of blank CD's and there is an anti-piracy law on music but

I don't know anyone who isn't burning music and copying CD's or enjoying a

Cd someone else burned for them. How many times do you make a good recipe

out of a cookbook only to copy it down to share with family and friends?

There is a person on who is in many groups who take recipes from other

groups, had a cookbook made up to sell for $19.95 in her group. was

made aware of this by 4 other group owners and yet nothing was done about

it. This was 2 years ago. I have lost track of that group and person but it

isn't fair. If you don't want a personal recipe posted by others then you

might think twice about posting it.

Carolyn if you want to share any of my recipes feel free to do so, please as

a courtesy mention my name and the group when you post it. Have a great day.
