Hi Sharon,

If there were copyrights on recipe ideas and recipes, there would probably be only 100 cookbooks in the world and no food magazines. What a sad thought!

It would be different if you took the recipe from a website and plunked it down verbatim, saying that it was your own. That would be stealing. Making modifications to it to suit your own tastes (or what you have in the fridge) makes a whole new recipe.
