Delicio Recipe List

These days plagiarism is so common, that if you come across any site with your pictures and copied recipes, you feel angry. You may even write to the website / blog author for disciplinary actions but on second thought you feel, are those sites really worth of a second look and we seem to only add to their blog traffic. When I started my blog, I did not know much about plagiarism and related actions to be taken. But as time went by, I came across several sites where my pictures and posts are copied verbatim without giving due credit to my blog. Initially I did not know what to do, and wrote to those sites, some have removed the copied posts and pictures and some sites still carry them. It seems these people do not have enough decency to acknowledge your hard work and Plagiarism has become a daily affair to them, what we call in Bengali "Jol Bhaat" (meaning a simple case like water and rice). So these days, if I see my pictures in some other blogs & website, I really do no...

Another case of plagiarism. As these days, I am not very regular in posting and also cannot check the site regularly. But surely this is not the post I intended to write about. Just today, I happen to update some posts, found a comment left by an anonymous visitor that my post on Calcutta Chicken Roll has been copied in a Pakistani recipe site, pakistanifoodrecipes.com launched on Monday, June 22, 2009. My post on Calcutta Chicken Roll (post on Mar 8 2009), has been copied verbatim in the site with the post name as Calcutta Kati Roll ? Kolkata Chicken Roll Even the picture has been copied. Though they have carefully erased the mark on the picture, one can still understand that it?s my picture. My site name has been written but no credit / linking has been provided. After some more browsing, I found 2 more of my posts have been copied: Honey, Lime and Mint Iced Tea as Honey Lime Mint Iced Tea Stuffed Dahi Wada , copied as Stuffed bread dahi baray The picture of Stuffed Dahi Was ev...

Some people just don't learn from their mistakes.... Well Sarmila of Samayal Blog copied my Eggs in Milk recipe and wrote as Egg curry with Milk . After my notification, she changed the recipe with a new one, which I stated in my earlier post . Still not satisfied, I happened to browse further and came across this site, Indian Cooking by Sagari. She wrote about Egg Korma with coconut milk and to my surprise the new recipe at Samayal Blog is none other than the recipe of Sagari (I found out her copied work through spelling mistake of turmeric). I have notified Sagari also on this.... You can find Sagari's recipe out here: 1) Egg Korma with coconut milk 2) Same recipe at Sify by Sagari, Egg Korma And moreover, lots of other recipes are copied from various food sites as mentioned below: Fabulous Fruit Salad Fabulous Fruit Salad at Samayal Blog, copied from here Summer Fruit Salad Dal Biryani Dal Biryani at Samayal Blog, copied from Hungryzone (she even attached the same p...

Well folks, I didn't think my post on plagiarism will have such a quick effort on Sarmila, the writer of Samayal Blog . Just now, she changed the whole recipe of Egg Curry with Milk , my word-word copied version of Eggs in Milk , replaced milk with coconut milk (how convenient and so very original!!!!). But maybe she do not know that the name of the post is still the same " http://www.samayalblog.com/index.php/egg/egg-curry-with-milk ", coz even if you edit / modify your post & post title, the original post title (code) remains the same. I notified the writer by posting a comment on the original post, she smartly deleted my comment and modified my recipe as stated below: Ingredients: 100 gms / 4 eggs 2 cups water (to boil eggs) 1 cup / 250 ml milk 4 tbsp onion paste (2-3 large onions, made into a paste) 2 tsp ginger paste 2 tsp garlic paste 1 green chilli 2 tbsp white oil 1 ? tsp salt (to taste) 1 bunch fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped Method: Add water and pre...

Friends, these days I am not getting enough time for blogging but always following the nice recipes of you fellow bloggers. Just the other day, while checking Sanghi's blog, Sanghi's Food Delights! , I came across a note on Plagiarism and her writing on one person hosting a food blog named 'Samayal Blog' . Her Classic Chicken photo was copied and put as Bachelor chicken and the writer Sarmila has even sent it to an event First Cooked Food Event , hosted by Shama. As a victim of plagiarism, we all have every right to let others know that our posts (recipes) were stolen and reproduced as someone's own work! These days, I think everyone knows how much time and effort goes into writing a post. I always thought, whren I started blogging, if this were to happen to me, I?d be upset, hurt and didn't have any idea of what to do. Well just out of curiosity, I happened to browse through the other posts of this Samayal Blog, and came across this post on Eggs, a post called...
