Compilation of Recipes

This may be an a question already answered, (if so, I apologize) but is it legal to put recipes on a website? If it is a fairly basic recipe like Beef Stroganoff, do you need to have permission from a publisher that the recipe came from to put it on the site? If so, are there ways around it such as changing the name of the recipe, etc. I have read some fairly old threads, but they do not address the reprinting of the recipe, just how to patent it.

All answers are appreciated!
