Yes, as far as I understand it neither ingredients lists nor methods can be
copyrighted (if you don't want someone else to make something the same way,
you pretty much need to keep it a secret). A recipe is copryighted only as
a literary work.

I'm pretty sure the recipes I put in were not written word for word from
the sources - I had them handwritten in note books, and rarely copy those
things exactly from the source. I usually want to write as little as
possible.
