Lucas Gives You Permission!
HIS RECIPES ARE FULLY AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC USAGE!
"I want those as serious about cooking as I to use these recipes at their own will.  As a semi-professional cook, I realize that avid cookers do not have to re-invent the wheel.  We must take ideas from others and use them to create something special.  It's not a matter of theft; it's a matter of loving the industry of cookery."
-Lucas Foster, May 2003
Frequently Asked Questions about Lucas' Recipe Permission Policies-
Q: I am very serious and intense in the kitchen, and I realize why Lucas is giving the public permission to use his professional-like recipe collection, but how can I optain a paper copy of his collection?

A: Lucas simply recommends printing the recipes from his webpages.  You can print off as many copies as you like using the print feature while in the World Wide Web.  Users may access his website's homepage at http://www.geocities.com/cookinglucas

Q:  Realizing that this question does not involve Lucas' permission policies, I am curious how he became such a professional in the industry?  I've searched for information on him throughout the Internet, and I see something about him being in college?  How does he have the time to balance school work and cooking?

A:  Sure, Lucas has a very rigorous schedule, but when you love cooking as much as he does, there is always time for kitchen duties!  Many of his inspirations have come from a low food budget (see macaroni and beef cousine) and a creative mind (see hamburger bun pizzas).  Dealing with a not so professional sized kitchen, Lucas has done what he can to create splendid dishes for friends and family alike.

Q:  Is Lucas attempting to copyright any of his recipes?

A: Actually, a few of his creations are currently in the copyright process.  Pudding with skim milk and his spaghetti/potato skins/baked beans combination meal are actually within the copyright process!  Also, keep an eye out for his upcoming book, Put an Apron on Me, hitting all major bookstores and newsstands in October!  This book is an autobiography that promises to reveal ALL!
