There was a big thread about this on another recipe list I subscribe to
(fatfree) and the list admin there said that recipes are *not*
copyrightable under US law. It is, however, a professional courtesy
among cookbook authors, etc. to give credit where it is due and to use
restraint. It is not, however, illegal in any way to post recipes from a
book or other published source to the Internet. That was the conclusion
from the fatfree list.
Illegal or not, it is still rude to post a whole cookbook... (see
courtesy note, above ;) )
