Hark! I heard "Peter Aitken" say:
"Laura" wrote in message

actually..I thought to myself upon reading it..'she buys it somewhere'!
just a thought..

Perhaps I am being too harsh, but I have always thought that refusing to
give someone a recipe, particularly a friend or family member, is
astoundingly petty and selfish. The only exception I can think of is if the
person who gave you the recipe asked you to promise not to give it out.
Otherwise it is really cheesy. It is hard for me to imagine having a life so
shallow and empty that having a "secret recipe" is so important.

I don't think you're harsh, Peter; you're exactly right IMO. I love
sharing recipes, new or old. When I have guests for dinner and make
something unusual, I type up a copy of the recipe for anyone who
wants it enough to ask...
