There was a ruling that said that recipes are not copyrightable. However, anything beyond the recipe ingredients and method is copyrightable.
Think images, videos, or that hunk of text detailing their experience as a 5 year old before a recipe.
Way back in the day I ran a public recipe scraping API. It had an option to scrape the image along with the recipe, but you had to set an explicit copyright flag to get them.
