(Please don’t publish someone else’s recipe, though, even on the internet and even if you own the book.) If you find yourself wanting to copy a lot of recipes from a cookbook you don’t own, you probably ought to just buy the cookbook! And On to the “Meat” of the Post Nor do I have an issue with copying a recipe or two for personal use from a cookbook checked out from the library or borrowed from a friend. However, if I already own a book, I don’t find anything questionable about moving that information around to someplace it’s easier for me to find when I want to reference it again. Authors and their support teams work hard to put their books out and the worker is worthy of his wages! Most books are not meant to be copied and distributed by readers.
Before I get started, let me preface this with something that hopefully doesn’t need to be said, but…just in case, and so that I am not misunderstood, either: When taking notes or copying brief passages (or recipes) from a book - whether electronically or the old-fashioned way with pen & ink - be conscious of your ethics.
