    Runningtothekitchen Interesting question about the reprinting thing. I feel like there is an unspoken "rule" about recipe posting although not all follow it. Unless I've changed 3 or more ingredients (and substantial changes, not adding 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon or something) I will not repost a recipe as I would not like someone else doing that to me. Unfortunately, it happens all the time and while recipes aren't copyrighted, it just seems like common courtesy to not repost unless you've made it your own. on 13 March 2012, 12:27
