A year ago I became online friends(like we all are) with an amazing woman. I stumbled upon a FB group she set up as she was desperately trying to feed her children with practically no money. The group was/is called HUNGRY TUMS ON A BUDGET. Well it just grew and grew - and before you know it she had 11k members! All helping each other with food ideas, recipes etc. Then someone said why not make it into a book?? So she did! It’s only a thin book but it was out on AMAZON yesterday, and she even put one of my photos on the cover! Am so so excited for her - nobody deserves it more. So if you want to take a peek the book is called HUNGRY TUMS ON A BUDGET THE BOOK. Very very proud online buddy!! X
Same here Sadie. You have to go to the FB page.
Smow, it's an honest comment, not a mean one. I have a Kindle library full of decent novels, and many cost just 99p.
And why are you taking offence for a pretend friend?
can you really copyright a recipe?
Who "owns" the recipe for boiled eggs? if cr is a problem, surely all you have to do is put in an extra 1/4 tsp of salt and (or take it out) then is isnt?
bednobs, the recipes that give precise ingredients, methods and timings to create a dish of several different ingredients created by the author and published are copyrighted.
Smow, I'm not impressed because paying to publish a book isn't an indication of the book's merit. It's not the same as being paid by a publisher.
Copying recipes from a FB page isn't a huge effort.
ok so perhaps boiled eggs werent a good example. I have a book called "how to boil an egg" that has many simple receipes aimed at people leaving home for the first time(i hvent lived at home for nearly 30 years but still use it!). In that there is a recipe for cheese on toast. can you copyright that?
