Is there any possible use for a recipe that I already know?

In Guild Wars 2, oftentimes (especially during the current Wintersday event) you get recipes that you have already unlocked. Typically, I just sell them. I recently learned that runes and sigils that you don't need can be used in the Mystic Forge, so that makes me wonder: Is there currently any use for unlocked recipes?

Most recipes are not soulbound, so you can either:

Sell on Trading Post
Announce a giveaway on the Guild

Assuming that you already have a certain recipe, on a specific character, you can't "re-learn" it, so double-clicking it again won't work. There are new recipes once in a while (like the ones you can loot from Silverwastes), which makes it "harder" for newer players to catch-up with the releases. This is why I usually announce on Guild before selling it (mainly because 99% of the recipes will worth a few copper only, so why not give away?)

Can you copy other peoples recipes?

As the US Copyright office states: \u201cMere listings of ingredients as in recipes, formulas, compounds, or prescriptions are not subject to copyright protection.

Is there an app that tells you what you can cook with the ingredients you have?

SuperCook is one of the best ways to reduce food waste in the home. It finds recipes that use as many of your ingredients as possible, so nothing goes to waste. SuperCook makes food waste prevention fun and easy, just open the menu page on the app and choose a recipe.

At what point is a recipe yours?

A recipe becomes yours when you write it out in your own words, threading it with details that reflect your personal experience with it and your conviction that what you're presenting are all the right ingredients, as well as the best way to combine them.

How much do you have to change a recipe for it to be your own?

Here in the food writing world, many of us follow an informal standard that you need to make at least three changes before you can claim credit for a recipe. Those changes need to be more substantial than changing 1/2 teaspoon salt to 1/4 teaspoon, although the changes don't have to just be in the ingredients.
