Do you expect *him* to respect copyrights? Hahaha...

use you mouth for eating..

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?

I do pretty much the same as you - scavenge and collect all sorts of recipes
from all kinds of sources. Many of which I modify to my tastes, local
ingredients, or for what I have on hand. I try to cite the original source
if I can, at least how I obtained the recipe, what I did as modifying the
recipe for my own reasons, and also add notes on how it turned out/was
received.

A great reason for trying to include the original source is so others can
look there for themselves. If you present 4 recipes from a collection of
200, there are many other possibilities that others might want to look to as
well, or perhaps would enjoy reading the non-recipe sections to understand
more about the author's cooking approach.

Food is part of a journey that defines us, our culture, and the changes made
along the way. A journal of your experiences and how they were influenced
broadens understanding for others.

At least Mr. Falafel does something positive in this group.

I don't think repeated copyright violations is a positive thing.

I agree. He is one of the few that stays on topic. I think you can share
recipes without violating copyright.

Doesn't look like anybody cares where the recipes come from as no one
has asked for a specific recipe's source since this was posted.
Another non-issue, I guess.

I don't know why he does it, but am thankful that he does. Don't try
to kidnap him from us, to r.f.v ;0)

Hm, maybe I should pop by in r.f.v and see what it looks like.

If you do, make sure you to rec.food.veg.cooking

rec.food.veg is unmoderated

It used to be like this group, but it seems to be mostly abandoned.

correction. rec.food.veg.cooking.

They are very well moderated. They encourage posting only vegan
recipies and the content is 99.8% ( .02 % for thank you notes )
about vegetarian cooking only.

Given that Mr. Falafel seems to be exclusively interested in vegan
cooking it would seem like the better fit given the nature of the
content of alt.food.vegan.

Not trying to convince him of anything, just thinking out loud.

I found out, and wondered why you had called it unmoderated. I've now
changed to rec.food.veg.cooking, which looks a lot better. Thanks :0)

Early Sunday morning typos .

Just for clarification:

rec.food.veg is unmoderated.

rec.food.veg.cooking is strongly moderated. The content is about
recipies and cooking.....period. They strongly encourage posting only
vegan recipies and about 99% of the recipies are vegan.

====================
Of course not. Not to the unethical it isn't. As there are no 'ethical'
vegans here on usenet, it works out well for you, doen't it?

Thanks for all you do Mr. Falafel.

Some of the recipies you have found for me have made a big difference
in my daily life...like workable vegan kasha.
