can you open a restaurant and use recipes from a published cook book and charge for the food?
September 26th, 2009 by admin | Filed in Chili's Restaurant Recipes
would that be considered plagiarism or copyright infringement if you just used the recipes from the cook book instead of figuring them out on your own?
i mean, I wouldn’t take credit for them or anything, claiming they’re my recipes.
but would I have to give credit to the cook who wrote the cookbook, or could I just serve them in my restaurant and charge for them?

The copyright infringement applies to the way the instructions are worded, not on the ingredients or the recipe itself. So unless you are re-writing the instructions to a recipe, you shouldn’t have much to worry about.
here is the law directly relating to it:
http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl122.html
I use recipes from cookbooks all the time. Most recipes from books are not that unique. No one will find out. And, assuming that the cookbook author comes to your restaurant, this person would have a very hard time proving that you stole his/her recipes. The only thing you have to worry about is using a name of a dish that would be connected to another restaurant. For example, if you tried to sell Big Macs or Whoppers; that would be a problem.
You can’t sell or distribute the written recipe, but you can prepare the recipe and sell the food.
You can do it.
No law against it.
You cant show a picture of the dish that was in the book however.( without permission).
You can make the dish and sell it though.
No prob.
you just cant claim the stuff is your invention..
but sometimes simple things like a fried egg a pancake.. I mean those are in everyones cookbooks across the globe, no one has rights to the recipe to those.. haha!
but if you made something elaborate.. Like Chef Ramseys signature dish off Hells Kitchen and claimed it as your own. that might get you into trouble…
Why yes..as long as you don’t put they are Origianal recipies. We all make the same food,but put our own spin on it.
Absolutely … I can assure you, there are restaurants out there who have recipes from Joy of Cooking, Betty Crocker, etc. They may have been adapted or changed to fit the chef or the clientele, but many recipes have their base in one from a standard cookbook!
We used to do that at my mother-in laws resturante, but we usually chenged them around. Cookbooks and published recipes area great way to keep ideas and menu’s fresh. Try to make it your own recipe, you can take more pride in the recipe that way.
