On the contrary, I feel that the large representation of a Recipe conveys a sense of accessibility and simplicity. It says, "this is something you can understand, it will not boggle your mind, stress you out, or confuse you."
Compare this with Yahoo Pipes, which provided a similar service with an interface intimidating to non-technical users.
While I did start by thinking "am I zoomed in on this site for some reason" the large size has actually grown on me. Overall I really like pretty much every aspect of the design.
On a seperate note: for phone calling, it said US only but it seems to work for international numbers as well. (Was wanting to see if I could set up a nice wake-up call...)
Glad to hear some folks like it. Was going for an interface that had a feeling physicality, something that might not look out of place on a kitchen appliance. Size was an easy way to accomplish that, but at the expense of getting lots of info on the screen.
Feedback for simplicity: is there a need for the term "Recipes"? Can't they just be called Tasks? Some Tasks can be public/shared, but another term doesn't appear to be needed.
