I searched by "ingredients" and got a selection of recipes, but when I used the exact same search term on "keyword" search, I got nada. I understand the difference, but you know the gold standard. I suggest to "emulate" Google: one search box only please. As a cook myself, I like the idea, but honestly, I don't see how the pay model will be popular. I can do exactly the same thing in Google if I enter the exact search term as for your web site, and then add the word "recipe" to the search term. And other recipe sites will do as well. So I am not sure how you can get away from ad-supported revenue model. Good luck nonetheless. BTW, I agree about the logo comment. Maybe you can try to change the web site name or create a cute story about why use the "puppy".
