While the article indicated that a specific recipe could not be considered copyright, the entire book would be so if someone lifted the contents of a complete recipe book it would be considered a breach I am sure. I guess cookbooks are different than other books.
Hummm, what about the taking of a poem and needle-pointing it onto a wall hanging? or many wall hangings until the entire slim book of poetry is rendered into folk art? Is it the medium of the copy that makes it break copyright? or is it the amount of the work that is copied?
I remember when a blind friend of mine (many many years ago when audio books were not available except through some blind services) would request a tape of a book from a service. I wonder if that was considered "fair use" because it was accessibility although that term wasn't used until recently.
