(Referencing my earlier post)
Never thought y'all were hiding anything. It's just......there's a world of folks who read this blog that might not know about the original book (or the new one) that came up w/ this technique.
It's so easy to forget to reference our sources. And so important to keep copyright real (as I'm sure you can appreciate w/ your own writings/photos). Thanks for the lovely blog here.
You're welcome, Helen. I probably should have mentioned Jeff in the blog as well as the recipe. But as I said - we have a good working relationship, and he's fine with sharing - we sell his book on our site, and will soon be selling both of them. We ALL benefit when we bake bread. And I always liked what Julia Child said - "If you don't want to share your recipe, don't write it down." There are specific copyright laws covering a recipe's written directions, but nothing legal for the ingredients.
Ethically, as recipe writers, we credit someone else if the ingredients we use are the same; if we change 2 or more, no need to credit, though it's considered good manners to give a tip of the hat to the original author. Thus I cited Jeff and Zoe in the recipe; but simply didn't think to do it in the blog, as I figure most people will get to the blog via the recipe once the blog sinks down beneath the weight of ever-oncoming new blogs. Anyway, that's what happened. I've got their Spelt-Olive bread dough in the fridge right now - will bake it tomorrow and see how it does. Thanks for connecting - PJH
