*raises hand* Question:
Okay - I can see your reasoning behind this, however - like my cookie recipe - it was my mothers and she doesnt recall where she got it from, she thinks a friend gave it to her many many years ago (as is typical of many recipes). So she passed it to me, always made them as we were growing up.
But, now I'm curious to know how one would ascertain that MY recipe is copied from a "source" if someone else has the exact same ingredients from say.. their mom or grandmother?
That doesnt mean each one was copied from a cookbook.
So - how will that be dealt with then? I mean, most cookbooks are based off of generational recipes - so... ???
If you will go to the submission page there is a place for you to insert how you got recipe.
I saw it and put in that it was my mothers recipe.. however, that alone doesnt answer the question that was posed above.
If the ingredients and the recipes are basically the same - you stated that they could "potentially" be copied from other sources and not be allowed. My question and concern remains as above - how are you going to determine what recipes were "copied" from "sources" and therefore not allow them? It could stand to reason, again that my mom's recipe is the same recipe in one of today's cookbooks, but its
NOT from a cookbook. Does that make sense? Gosh I hope so...
can you address these issues?
Just listing "It was my mom's" doesnt answer the problem of mulitiple submissions and/or same recipes as you've posted above.
Thanks Miss P.
