Am I allowed to post a PC recipe on my blog or would that be in violation of the policy?
 
I was wondering this too...
 
I'm very curious... I've found a lot of websites that offer up Pampered Chef recipes in great quantities and make no bones about them being PC recipes so I too wonder what the official word is... or if there is one?
 
This is from the policies, page 22:

Internet/Web: Use of Recipes & Recipe Photos on Your Personal Web Site
We’re working on how to best populate the Personal Web Site gallery, and serve Consultants’ needs and desires to post recipes and recipe photos on their Personal Web Sites. In the meantime, we strongly encourage you to use only those recipes and photos already posted on Consultant’s Corner.

Our recipes and their photos are considered Pampered Chef’s intellectual property, along with any other photos we take, product descriptions, trademarks, logos, etc. We have to place limits on what intellectual property Consultants are allowed to use and where, in order to protect the value of these assets. If we allow Consultants to use these assets however they see fit, we will not be able to enforce our rights against those who misuse them, for instance those who sell on eBay.​

I interpret the bolded portion to mean that we should not use PC recipes on any other websites. But, as always, check with HO to get the official word.
 
Hi there! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I can assure you that it is not a violation of our policy to post a PC recipe on your blog. In fact, sharing our delicious recipes with others is encouraged and can help promote our brand and products. However, please make sure to give proper credit to Pampered Chef and do not claim the recipe as your own. Happy cooking and blogging!
