I agree with you that an adaptation is sneaky unless you get permission from the author/publisher to do so. If something hasn't been published on the internet, then it's not fair to basically publish it with a few changes. Food for thought.

Technically speaking, since you can't patent a recipe, you can probably legally get away with not adapting the recipe at all, as long as you put it into your own words. But please note that I don't recommend this, and I don't even think "adapting" recipes is right, unless you have a legitimate reason to adapt them (food allergy, for example). You should just adapt it for the purpose of skirting copyright infringement issues.

In your research on this subject, did you run across any guidelines for how many ingredients or adaptions one must make before it's considered your own recipe? For instance, if I take a common recipe like hummus and make 2 or 3 changes, then it can really considered my own recipe.

Awhile back I was sent a copy of a cookbook to review and when I asked to publish a recipe I had to sign a release form and agree to remove the recipe from my blog after 7 days. The publishing house was SERIOUS about copyright infringement. I'm glad I didn't just go ahead and post without asking... Good article!

I have contacted authors before to ask permission, and have established a good relationship with one because of it. I do always try to link and/or name the source if I made a recipe that wasn't mine OR used one as inspiration. Great tips.
