Can I Use Someone Else’s Recipe on My Blog?

The short answer is: It depends. If the recipe is published with the author’s permission, then you can use it without attribution.

However, if the recipe was not written by the author and is instead a copy or adaptation of another recipe, you may need to include an attribution.

When it comes to copyrighted material, including recipes, there are a few things to keep in mind. Generally speaking, if you are using a copyrighted recipe that has been published with the consent of the author, you are allowed to share the recipe without crediting the author.

However, if you are using a recipe that was not written by the author and is instead a copy or adaptation of another recipe, then you may need to include an attribution. This means including the author’s name, website name or blog URL in your post.

If you’re not sure whether or not a recipe is copyrighted, it’s safest to err on the side of caution and include an attribution. Otherwise, you may run into legal trouble if someone feels that their copyright has been violated.
