Ownership of Recipes

Amish Friendship Bread and its many variations have been around for a couple of decades at least. The web and news media have published numerous Amish Friendship Bread recipes, all based off the same basic recipe. In the Friendship Bread Kitchen, we’re sharing recipes that we acknowledge have come to us from others, who in turn got them from others, and that the recipes may have been tweaked or dabbled with, torn apart and rebuilt, gone vegan, gone low cholesterol, gone chocolate mania, whatever. Ultimately we leave them all in the great Amish Friendship Bread Recipe Box (we’re speaking metaphorically here) and acknowledge that the mere listing of ingredients is not exclusive to our humble kitchens.

Recipes posted to Friendship Bread Kitchen are listed as being submitted by the individual that submitted the recipe. By submitting a recipe to the website (in either method mentioned above), you are giving Friendship Bread Kitchen the rights to use the recipes in its websites, mailing lists and in other promotional means. If you wish to have your name removed from a recipe, we will gladly oblige. Please note, we reserve the right to remove a recipe from our archive in the case of corporate trademark or copyright issues. If you have a question about what constitutes copyright infringement, please visit the US Copyright website at www.copyright.gov.

Recipe Disclaimer

Friendship Bread Kitchen is not responsible for the outcome of any recipe you try from this, or any website or related pages in our network (Friendship Bread Kitchen on Foodbuzz, Allrecipes, Twitter, YouTube, etc.). While we try to review each recipe carefully, you may not always achieve the results desired due to variations in ingredients, cooking temperatures, typos, errors, omissions, or individual cooking abilities. Please always use your best judgment when cooking with raw ingredients including milk and dairy-free products.
