You've sometimes stated that recipes you submit are taken from various
published cookbooks. I would like to ask you, therefore, if you could show
some respect towards the authors/creators of these recipes by including
their source, ie, author's name, book name, etc.

Thank you


I try to when I can. The problem is a while back I did a whole bunch
of data entry of recipes without marking which recipe came from which
book so now sometimes have a difficult time tracking down which recipe
came from which source. Also, many recipes I publish come from
magazines or my collection of bizarre out of print cookbooks found at
charity shops or used book stores. Some of those do not list the
recipe creators names. For instance, the Marmite recipes I just posted
came from a Marmite recipe book published by the company...

Also, most of the recipes I post I'll simplify or 'internationalise'
or offer ingredient alternatives or change around from my experience
etc. At what point does a recipe stay with the author or become
something new? I guess I could put 'inspired by' or similar credit in
this case.

I also post recipes from non-vegetarian cookbooks. I would hate for
someone to see a cookbook reference posted and have that person
purchase the cookbook only to discover that there is only one or two
vegan recipes in it. If a person asks me for a recipe reference, I can
give out that type of information about the book.

If there is a specific recipe you are curious about then let me know
and I'll try and track down it's source. Posting the recipes is
supposed to inspire conversation and asking for a recipe source is a
good way to establish two-way converstaion about a recipe, is it not?
