Mariatta 🤦🏻‍♀️ 
Once I attended a local foodie meetup, and a local influencer who has their own recipe blog says that if you change a recipe by 3 ingredients you get to call it your own recipe instead of having to credit the original recipe author.
Don't know if it's true, but since then I'm always skeptical whenever a recipe calls for 1/4 teaspoon of some random spice 😅 Is it really a crucial ingredient, or are they just adding extra ingredients just because?

@mariatta I don’t know whether the ‘3 ingredients’ thing is actually true, but it does explain why some recipes feel one pinch away from performance art. Sometimes it’s culinary nuance, sometimes it’s just rebranding.

@mariatta I had the same feeling when the process is almost the same. I also wonder if the ingredient is the same but from a specific region is this counts too? For example, is the sichuan pepper the same as black pepper?

@mariatta Kind of reminds me of the "folk wisdom" that if two songs' melodies share six notes in common then it's copyright infringement (which is of course BS)

@mariatta the copyright rules make recipes a challenge. It’s why modern cookbooks and cooking websites add long essays. The essay is unique and enjoys protection. The recipe? Not so much
