    the site has some good content but feels dull. you need to redesign it with a more warm style like orange color and put some pictures in to it.

    Excellent content, but once you go past the main page, the recipe's seem to be listed in random order; in addition, no matter which category I visit, I am not able to get past page "8"

    It looks like the pages you see when you get your domain parked by the reseller.. I mean, it does not have the feeling of a real site full of interesting content but of something just full of ads. Even the "please select a category" thing looks like ads. :(

    might not sound very optimistic, but I hope my review helped

    I feel poison_paradize is right .Put some text about what an user should look for into your website. That would it look more realistic.

    I like the header with all the veges... makes me want to go eat a salad. But the background is white and a bit bland.

    Why not try adding a nice background color/image perhaps?

    I think you'll need to add more value to the user in order to make this website a success as at the moment Google will see you as a thin affiliate and probably penalize the site. I would get all affiliate and adsense off until you are established in Google.

    Try adding reviews/ratings to each recipe as this will generate unique content and add more value.

    Good luck!

    There is No way whatsoever that this site could be categorized as a "Thin Affiliate" - (I have spent the past 2 years working on the Google quality rating programme, 18 months of which as a Moderator) and I know the guidelines like the back of my hand...
