Yes you can. However, your recipe must be new, which means that no equal recipe should have been ever published or seen before wordwide (The patent authority is in charge to perform said review). Further, your recipe must have an inventive level, which means that if the same is similar to another one, it should involve advantages or improvements over every other recipe directed to produce the same product. It is very advisable that prior to present a patent application, a patent search is carried out, which will allow you to find out whether any similar inventions are already disclosed that would not permit the granting of your patent. The most cost/effective way to carry out all of these steps, is to hire a patent lawyer. if you are in the states, the biggest company and the one that i would recommend is Jones Day. They have a lot of experience in the matter.

∙ 11y agoYes, in theory, a new and non-obvious mixture can be patented as well as a new and non-obvious method of making something, either of which could be a "recipe".
----------------------------------------
Typically original recipes [food] will be copyrighted and trademarked, rather than patented. Processes, like "broasting, or pressure frying" are patented. Copyrights and trademarks have longer periods of trade protection than patents.

∙ 11y agoYes, in theory, a "new and non-obvious" mixture can be patented. For example, a unique combination of spices could be a patented curry. Also, a new and non-obvious method for MAKING something might be patentable.

∙ 11y agoNo you cannot. In fact I actually went to buy a patent for a famous sandwich i made for my restaurant and they told me I couldn't. Just don't tell anyone the recipe.

Difference between patent and patent pending?
A patent is a grant from a patent office, such as the United States Patent Office. "Patent Pending" is a phrase that an application for a patent has been filed and is in some stage in the process of obtaining a patent. Thus, a patent can be presently enforced while a patent that is merely pending is unenforceable but can mature into a patent that can be enforced. Once the pending patent matures, the patent owner can sue for back damages or reasonable royalties starting from the filing date of the patent.
