I have not read the book, but the image of Pesach kugel on my dish with my Matzah cover as background, under a different name is Ganeivah - theft. It was taken without my permission from my post on my blog https://koolkosherkitchen.wordpress.c....
The caption for this image has a different name "Kosher Solutions" and no credit is given to me. By Jewish Law it is considered theft, which by definition renders any plagiarized material un-kosher.
I would like to know who posted this image on Goodreads, and I want it to be taken down immediately or credit given to me and my blog.
