Jill Dillard Updates Website After Criticism, Viewers Still Say She's Got It Wrong

As Inquisitr reported previously, Jill Dillard's recipe for Chicken Momo includes advice to check the attached video -- but there's no video on Dillard's page. Jill's recipe also advises the user to purchase pre-made patties from a local Indian or Chinese store.

Now, Dillard has updated the page on her website to credit Check Please for the recipe, and Pinterest for the image. Check Please does host a similar recipe from Himalayan Restaurant, but there are notable differences, such as advising the reader to find a video for wrapping instruction, rather than suggesting one is attached. The update of the page adds a short credit line, but doesn't remove this error, which gives the appearance of a copy-and-paste without review. Jill Dillard's version also includes directions for making sauce, not included in the site she says is her source.

Images on Pinterest typically belong to a wide range of websites, as Pinterest is a tool for collecting links, not a provider of content. PC World delved deeply into this in 2012, but the short of it is that one complaint content owners had against Pinterest is that individuals might do exactly what Jill Dillard may have done: use an image and credit Pinterest, rather than the actual creator or owner of the image.

It's not the only recipe where Jill's attribution is being questioned. One Twitter user noted that, while Jill has updated her website to credit All Recipes for photo and recipe on her Cheese-Filled Pupusas page, the photo actually appears to be from Zestuous. However, the text doesn't appear to match recipes on either site. Instead, Dillard's recipe is most similar to this one on a site called Delicious El Salvador.

"...her website makes it very clear that pictures of her and her family are her property and nobody can use them without written permission or whatever. So she knows that taking other people's pictures and content is wrong."
