Is it ok to post recipes on our PWS? I want to add the Southwest pork tenderloin recipe - is it against the PC law to post a PC recipe if they could get it in a cookbook currently for sale?
I thought it might attract guests from my shows to my website if they have to go there for the recipe. Just making sure before I add recipes.
 
Nope,, post away! You can even copy and paste from CC to make it easier!
 
I post a monthly recipe on my PWS. I do make sure it is a PC recipe though. At shows I tell people if they give me their e-mail address I will send them a monthly recipe. When I send them out through my PWS I put in the message line YOUR MONTHLY PC RECIPE IS HERE. This way they get a chance to see my whole website. I do have the MONTHLY RECIPE on my homepage screen for them to click on.

How do you send it via the PWS? I haven't been able to figure out how to send other emails (just the ine to the host when setting up the show).
 
Go to Customer Connection when you're in the PWS manager. You can set up a list that's your newsletter list.
