It's not as clearcut as the Noble Cousin would have you believe.
The text of a recipe is original work
and that can be copyrighted.
"when a recipe or formula is accompanied by substantial literary
expression in the form of an explanation or directions, or when there is
a combination of recipes, as in a cookbook, there may be a basis for
copyright protection."

Translations fall under another section.
