My understanding is that you can’t copyright a recipe just like you can’t copyright data. The author’s anecdotes, however, CAN be protected via copyright. So adding the stories to the recipe some copyright protection.
NY State resident here. IIRC, Kaufmann’s got in big trouble with the Attorney General years ago for “sale prices” that allegedly represented discounts from the “usual price”. The usual price was fictitious - the products had never sold for that. I believe it led to a consumer protection law that regulated truth in advertising for sale pricing.
