A chef spends years perfecting something. Someone else takes it. There's nothing she can do about it.
That's not a hypothetical. It happened this year, in full public view, to one of the most successful recipe creators alive, with real legal counsel behind her. No lawsuit was ever filed. No court ever ruled. She simply had no enforceable claim, because the law protects the words on a page, not the dish itself.
If that surprises you, this book is for you.
