Good question, I am curious..

I think most recipes are more than just a listing of ingredients. And how would the cooking instructions be any different from say a book?

However, generic food like hamburgers or gyros usually don't require a page long descriptive story on how to prepare it. I'd think it's hard to put a copyright on something like a generic hamburger recipe.

i guess the "how its cooked" part would be the copyrighted important part then.. hmm

I think only of the name of the dish is trademarked or the recipes appeared in published print (like a Julia Childs book).

I am not sure. But for hamburgers, I guess that doen't really need any copyright man..

I think some are, but mine aren't.

Seems as though you and I have the same idea.

not yet. I'm still getting it done. But I'd love to link up if you'd like once my site is up.

I'm a recipe fiend. I love to cook, and if there's one I don't have, I'm all about it.
