[Sca-cooks] Redactions...credit where credit is due or not due?

[Johnna Holloway]

If you're not publishing the recipe and you are only cooking
for friends, why not say something along the lines
"the recipe came from XYZ, but I have been messing about
/improving/adapting/varying/redacting (insert whatever term fits) it in 
the meantime.
Tell me what you think?
It only gets complicated when you publish or put things up on the web. Or if
you are working with another local's pet recipe and they are going to 
take offense
at what you've done with their special recipe.
