Reply To: Halachos of sharing recipes

I doubt very much that a cookbook author has a reasonable belief that everyone will buy her/his cookbook for a couple of recipes. But when you share a recipe that came from a cookbook, it is far more likely that the person will be so happy with it, that she or he will want to see more. By the logic that has been used by those who think it is not right to share recipes from a cookbook, then perhaps we should never read a library book, either, since we don’t pay for those books, either.
