Hi Kadillac....My niche is organics (foods, gardening, products) and I understand what you are saying. There are many things with organics as well that are pretty cut & dry. I read a lot of material, and then re-word it as best that I can. I add an idea or two. Just try to make it as original as possible.

Kadillac I'm in a similar niche to you (cooking healthy) and I intend to write about juicing, smoothies etc.. In order to take the onus of these recipes I agree with SoloMon3y, reword any recipes that you find.

To be honest with recipes, once you start to experiment you will eventually be creating your own anyway. Read a few books and subscribe to some bloggers, that's where I draw my inspiration from.

Fist off, that's a great niche to be in! I think just adding a description at the top in your own words, then having a themed layout you keep constant would be enough. Not necessarily copying and pasting, just look at the recipe and write it in your own words. ie. -Put 2 eggs into large container vs -Add 2 eggs to a large bowl. If you kinda catch my drift.
