Very nice site!

Not sure where you're sourcing your recipes from, but just as a heads up - someone tried this a while back by scraping sites to just pull the recipes and there was an uproar by all of the "mommy blogs".

I personally don't see anything wrong with this, as I too hate these food recipe sites telling stories just to get adsense clicks.

I think to avoid this fate, we will not implement scraping or import features. Recipes have to be entered by individual email-authenticated users.
