Thanks Megan. It is, or has been a great magazine and I had enjoyed it. Now I am wondering how many bloggers have lost recipes to its pages?

Thanks Leela. I wish there was a way to at least irritate them.

Wow Marye, I’m shocked! Like it would be any big deal to a big magazine to give credit due where credit is desrved. However, the recipe looks awesome and I’m bookmarking it.”Best Dessert Ever” is high praise but doesn’t pay the bills! Looks like a magazine I would pick up if I ever saw it, but not now! Another potential customer lost!

I am speechless. So sorry, Marye. If this happens to me, I would be very upset too. The similarities could not possibly be coincidental.

Thanks Courtney. Someone mentioned that they were surprised because they would think that Tea Time would try to stay on my good side, since they like my recipes. I responded, “WHy? They know where to get my recipes and it isn’t like they feel the need to get permission.” :/

Well written Marye. Im sorry this happened to you.With the dire straights the print media is industry is in, you would think the magazine would want to avoid this type of attention. But Im glad you are standing up for yourself.I have never seen that magazine and if I do , now I know better.

Susan,
I don’t think it is shocking. Our society has been increasingly less ethical, more greedy, and more willing to overlook sin (or call it what you like). There is no solid right or wrong only poor choices.

I’m sorry to hear this Marye. I’m sure you are livid. Like you, I made some mistakes early in blogging, but now I know better. I don’t know all of the rules, but I do know there is an etiquette and this is wrong! Sorry you’ve had to go through this. I feel as though a lot of my stuff has been copied too. It’s interesting that I’ll put hours into a list of money saving tips and then it appears on a well-known website with a few of the tips changed around and reworded. It’s hard on a blogger.

Blessing to you and your family. May God bless you in this cookbook endeavor. You’ve got talent!

I’m appalled at this! I’m so saddened to hear that a big magazine would steal from you like this! Shocking!
