Are there guidelines about posting recipes that came from cookbooks? I have some that I'd like to post but I'm worried about copyright issues. One of the ones I have in mind I could probably rewrite so that it wasn't just copied straight from the cookbook, but the other one is so simple that it would be hard to rewrite it.

My understanding is that at least in the US, the content of recipes generally can't be copyrighted, but I don't know if the wording might be copyrightable.

Let's kick things up a notch!

Something that my wife/kitchen buddy

rooibos and I would love to do and share with the community is make really complicated recipes into low-spoon friendly things. We both love things involving the kitchen, and we have complimentary annoyances so what I can't do, she can and vice versa.

But what would be the point in breaking down a lovely, complex Julia Child recipe only to find that no one else cares? Right. To combat that, it's poll time!

Keeping in mind that we are both vegetarians and will work these recipes out as our schedules allow, we'd like some feedback about interest in various options.

If you have a favorite recipe or a recipe tucked away in a cookbook that has always struck your fancy, but you haven't worked out how to break down the work, please do comment so we can pursue those things, too! She and I are up for all sorts of wild adventure in the kitchen.
