Notes
"The Complete Italian Cook Book: (LA CUCINA) by Rose L. Sorce was published in New York by Grosset & Dunlap in 1953. The book is available for free at www.archive.org..... N.B. Technically, a book has to have been published prior to 1921 in the United States for it to be in the public domain, but sometimes the author and/or his heirs, place the book in the public domain so that individuals can have access to it. Whether this is the case for this particularly book is hard to say. In any case the book can be accessed without cost at the on-line public library, www.archive.org. Because "traditional" recipes don't belong to any one individual, it seems the recipe ingredients cannot be copyrighted, though it is possible that the word-for-word directions given in any one recipe might be. |
