Stealing my recipe

    You can't even "steal" a recipe, anyway. Unless it's a trade secret, but in that case they're sure not posting it on Instagram. And even in that case, copycat and duplication attempts are fully expected. As long as there's no corporate espionage involved in getting it, that's just... food.

    You can steal trade secrets as well. Reverse engineering has been a thing for probably over a century at this point

    The thing with trade secrets, is they're well, secret. If they try and go after someone who figured it out, they'd have to admit exactly what the secret is in court. Which they wouldn't do because court documents are public record which would mean the secrets out.

    Even if its a trade secret. Thats why coke is so secretive.

    A set of instructions cannot be copyrighted, period. Because there is no wiggle room to create.

    ...and thats why the most basic site on the internet is a cooking site, and every celebrity has a cookbook.

    I don't buy the story. How can you order something, and know it's the same recipe as that photo someone posted on IG? They don't even have a huge following (~2,500 people on IG), so the odds of someone recognizing it are even lower.

    Maybe it was in the presentation of a somewhat unique to the area dish.

    Would be really funny if she responded to the tag "on one of the creators posts", as the creator with "Oh yea I know her actually she is the original owner of the recipe so she didn't steal anything" or some such
