"When I took over this business, along with a great deal of other things, I received an entire bookcase filled with cook books, none authored by the previous owner, as well as a large binder filled with photocopies of recipes from various magazines, as well as recipes sent over e-mail by various people. So it would seem that just like myself, the former owners of Love Bites also used recipes that they did not create on their own. While there are some dessert ideas I have formulated myself most are a derivative of recipes someone else had created. A new menu item I just tried a few weeks ago comes to mind, our Peanutbutter cup cake, if you like Pb cups, you’ll love this cake. While I certainly was not the one to come up with the idea that chocolate and peanutbutter compliment each other nicely, it took a customers request, and some current recipes tweaked to work for this particular dessert, and viola I had put together a cake that will undeniably have a permanent place on my menu. I currently have on my clipboard two recipe cards from a customer that belonged to his grandmother. He has asked me to create these two desserts for him and I will do so proudly and hope that I can recreate the flavor this customer grew to love as a young child and into an adult. Dessert ideas can come from many different places, and the recipes for a particular dessert can be found in duplicate almost every where you look. Do you have any idea how many different ways you can make a simple vanilla cake? Google it some time, it’s mind boggling, however you’ll find that they are all just derivatives of the same base recipe. What it all comes down to is this, when I took over this business I also took over the right to lay claim on anything that leaves my kitchen, good, bad, or indifferent."

And then from this thread the quote from lovebitespastryshop, dated July 16, 2009
"Who is currently using recipies photocopied from my books (whatever, no big deal)".

Enough said, I think you get the point.

P.S. I have no connection with anyone on this fourm, just a summer visitor reading the threads.

Liar! its COACH0834/Jniff101 again. Hang em! Look at the way they spelled cupcake....just like in their other posts.
Ok, just messin with ya

[breathe easy]

Will the parties that are feuding here please just stop. You have all had the last word......more than once.

The North End is one of our favorites. I really don't care who makes the desserts. The Canoe sweet and sour calamari is out of this world.
