@AtomFury: I didn't read the directions, but... I've tried two ways to make cupcake cheesecake. Take a vanilla wafer and put it at the bottom of a cupcake liner. Then, add either the store bought ready made cheesecake filling (I believe it's Kraft/Philadelphia and that it comes in both regular and chocolate) and let it do its thing, or, follow a cheesecake recipe and add that on top.
i'm confused about the licensing. according to US law you can't patent or copyright a recipe. so why the licensing? maybe just a scare tactic to prevent others from publishing, but it's not legally binding.
Copyright laws did not afford protection to constituent recipes contained in cookbook that enjoyed registered compilation copyright.

also
17 U.S.C.A. § 101
this even covers recipes that use brand specific ingredients
i can only hope that this site is better than the others (Recipezaar, AllRecipes, Cooks.com, etc). i've had so many crappy recipes from them that ive been sticking to foodnetwork.com but this looks promising because of the photos.

I love this site. i think i have made 20 or more dishes from recipes on this site... My only beef with it is that, i am a huge Open source fan, and this web site used to be OpenSourceFood.com. I liked that name alot better
nice, just tried 'easy dinner' and 'gamjatang', found what wanted :p

That Cheesecake Cupcake looks really good. I never would've thought to make a cheesecake in cupcake form. Brilliant.

Nibbledish is fabulous - they used to be called Open Source Food, and the site's been great even before the name change. :) Seriously, it's so easy to find something delicious it's not even funny, and the photos are drool-worthy. Excellent find.
What a tease. When I saw open-source I thought it would be open-source software I could download and host my own recipe book on my site.
On that note, anyone know of an open-source recipe book software that I can host?

@mfusion: You can't copyright the ingredients or the method however you may be able to copyright the expression, especially if it is literary or descriptive rather than just functional (eg Nigella Lawson's recipes usually have little stories woven into the recipes). Also, while someone may be able to copy one or two recipes from one source - copying many without changing much would be a likely infringement.
It's a real grey area and it can differ from country to country, so I think it's good that it clearly states what you can do without trouble (and in many cases, but not all, it is more than the default copyright law would allow). However, I agree that such licensing can persuade people that they have fewer rights than they do actually have.

@Die The Villian: Yeah, I too rate "open source food" more than "nibble dish".
