So sorry to hear this happened, you know I think the reason he did it is because he KNOWS his own INCOMPETENCE prevents him from ever posting such lovely photos. Nonetheless, this guy is only FOOLING HIMSELF. We who love and respect food don’t steal from others, instead we respect the solidarity.
Mirabile, you will NEVER be part of our honorable food solidarity.

[...] of you may remember this tart, which was apparently so tempting that some guy decided to pass it off as his own. Well, the minute I laid eyes on these heirloom tomatoes at Arcadian Fields’ table at the [...]

Oh, Jen! A couple of weeks ago, another blogger informed me that she had discovered that someone was stealing and trying to pass off some of her bloggings — intensely personal bloggings, to boot. When she discovered this, she culled the offending blog and found that the offender had stolen from at least four other bloggers — including me. She was trying to pass off a book review I had done that, what a shock, was also intensely personal. I don’t even know how to explain how this incident made me feel — and I never wanted anyone else to feel that! My heart goes out to you — you kick ass!

Jen,

I am so sorry that this has happened to you. I have had a similar experience with another professional in my line of work copying my FAQ page word for word!

Oh My!

I only hope that this “outing” will discourage other people from ever even THINKING about copying another persons work without permission.

Hi – Just wanted to say that I love your log and if this guy stole your work intentionally then he obviously can’t be that great of a “professional” chef. I also thought you might find Tineye (www.tineye.com) useful. It’s a search engine for images so you could use it to see if your photos have been used anywhere else. Good luck!

Stick to your guns kid – If you don’t stand for something you’ll fall for anything (and I cannot quote who that is from because it is attributed to lots of people who borrowed the statement – just like your friend Mirabile). Thanks for your inspiration – l look at your blog as the life I someday will have

Wow, I must really be naive. I was shocked that anyone would be so bold, let alone a chef who owns a cooking school and restaurant. Classy. Good for you for calling him out. Keep on keeping on.

Interestingly, his website is now open only to those who are invited….guess that’s no one here!

I feel for you, Jen. A month ago some jerk hacked into our server, then put up the entire contents of our site under a different domain name and simply changed the header (and added advertising, of course). It took a LOT of work to get the site taken down, and it definitely left a bad taste in our mouths too.

At least this Jasper character is getting swift retribution from around the blogosphere

What an asshole. Something similar happened in this past week when I spotted another website claiming the gardens my company designed as its own.

I imagine it is going to take a landmark case to bring this issue the attention it deserves.

Hang in there. What you do matters to us.
