Why recipe authors don’t own the recipes they create

Last month, Australian food writer Nagi Maehashi accused another food influencer and bakery owner, Brooke Bellamy, of plagiarizing two of her recipes for her cookbook Bake with Brooki. Bellamy denied the plagiarism claim, but said she would remove the recipes from future printings of the book. That’s something of a victory for Maehashi, however it’s unlikely that she’ll get any sort of legal recourse. When you put pen to paper and author almost any type of writing, that writing immediately becomes protected by copyright law. Nearly every country has some form of copyright law that allows the original creator of creative content to stop others from distributing that content without their consent. But the nuances of copyright law create one notable exception: recipes. Yes, trade secrets like Coca-Cola’s recipe or the spices used in Kentucky Fried Chicken’s batter can be and are protected by intellectual property law, but when it comes to the actual recipes employed in the creation of these eats, anyone who cracks the code is allowed to make them. Here to help explain why recipes are the intellectual property outlier that they are is professor in the Business Law department at California State University, Northridge Valerie Flugge. -- LAist
