A friend gifted me a few hellofresh boxes once and I quite liked the recipes. But I don’t care about subscription services to get overpriced groceries delivered if the supermarket is a 5 minutes walk away.

Is there any collection on the recipes online? At least in Germany, recipes aren’t even copyrighted, so it wouldn’t even be illegal to distribute them here (AFAIK, IANAL).

    Fun fact about recipes: they are not copyrightable.

    So you can’t “pirate” them unless they put them behind a paywall, and even then you can download and reshare them.

    I absolutely hate that Basics with Babish put his recipes behind a paywall.

        Is it really any different than, say, a cookbook? I mean, Babish has to pay his bills and most of his content is still free videos which show you how to cook things including proportions and measurements for the ingredients.
