I don't have time to browse cookbooks in the store, and am reluctant to buy one without knowing what it's like. I use the library as a way of "test driving" cookbooks, but have also bought some after trying out the recipes posted by others, including here.

I kind of look at it this way, if I need a recipe and I don't own the cookbook, calling and asking a neighbor to borrow her book to make the recipe is the same as asking someone on imamother to post a certain recipe, the only difference is it 's more likely someone here will have the recipe and be "home" when I call.
As long as it's attributed, I think it's fine, and as someone else mentioned, free advertising.

Good point, though, in any kind of institutional setting it's important to clarify what can be done and who's on the hook if there's a problem. |
Yeah, and you definitely don't want to quote an Australian recipe (or even the ingredients to be on the safe side) after The Land Down Under kerfuffle

I have contacted a publisher before posting an attributed recipe on a Yahoo group - they said yes (I suppose it helps promote the book) - but I wouldn't make a habit of it.
