Hi Kat, yes I still measure if I'm baking but nowadays I use cups instead of scales... Sometimes I'd be half through weighing the cake ingredients and the battery would die on me!

This is quite difficult, when you have a recipe thinking it is your own idea, then check on Google, it has already been done.

But surely if we've put the recipe together, from scratch, without the aid of Google or any books, we can say it's our own? Even if there might be a similar one elsewhere... Dunno?!?

I ask this because I make low carb pancakes, which I didn't do any research for, just experimented several times with various ingredients until I got it how I liked it ... There may be the same or very similar recipe elsewhere but we won't know unless we do the research ... If that makes sense.

Im new to this so please tell me if I'm not on the right track

I'm sure you're a great cook because family are your best judge And I agree with you, it's because the meals are different. I can't wait to see your recipes.

Trust me I'm no expert at cooking but I'm learning and like to adapt ingredients wherever I can.

If you copy a recipe you have to be careful about copyright laws. If it is your own recipe then you are in the clear.

Sadly for bloggers, there are more and more incidents occurring of content theft. In some cases, bloggers are even finding their recipes appearing in ebooks being sold on sites such as Amazon. This can be very distressing when you’ve put so much time and effort into your blog. However, there are several steps you can take to try and handle the situation quickly and effectively.

If you find your content has been reproduced online without your permission, firstly you should try and contact the site owner and request your content is taken down immediately. If you can’t find contact details on their site, try searching whois or nominet. If you have no luck with this then try contacting the company who hosts the website, informing them of the copyright infringement and giving as much detail as you can. They have the power to suspend the account of the offenders and often take complaints very seriously.
