Re: What constitutes plagarism of recipes?

C'est magnifique, mais ce n'est pas la guerre. sarah bennett
<anisaerah@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> led the charge, yelling:

I submitted my blog to a blog review site, and in the review, they made
a comment implying that I am in a precarious legal situation because I
have posted a few recipes pretty much verbatim (at least as to the
amounts of ingredients used) from a few cookbooks. I provide a link to
whatever cookbook I'm working from when I do make a recipe that I have
not altered. I think that constitutes fair use as a review of the
cookbook, and the contents therein. What do you guys think? When I make
things straight from a cookbook, should I just provide a link to the
cookbook, and not post a recipe?

It's not "plagiarism". It's straight out copyright infringement. And
yes, just link the recipe.
