I have been working on a cookbook on some of the recipes that my clients have requested again and again, and I have run into a little dilemma.
how do you attribute recipes that are based on recipes from a foreign cookbook?
Example: I have a recipe for Sichuan Chicken Wings that I got from a cookbook that is written in Chinese. the recipe that I use has changed a little from the one in the book, but not much. I would like to add "based on" or "adapted from" credit for the recipe. I translated the recipe and as a result changed the wording of the instructions and added amounts for items that had no amounts with them
even though it sounds slimy, is that enough not to attribute?
