I applaud you for tackling this niche, but $120/year seems a high price. For example: this is the same price as a 50Gb plan on Dropbox.

There are some features that could make this really valuable - such as automatic parsing/importing of recipes from other sources, or a tablet app with syncing for offline - but if these (or any other value-adding features) do exist, you really need to expose them on the front page.

Have you looked at http://onetsp.com/ ? Their freemium model allows a limited number of recipes. Pro version is $5/year.

Oh wow, I had never seen onetsp before. They compete almost directly with me. I agree on the price, and currently brainstorming different ways to monetize.

Well what are your ideas? I cook a lot, and I know others who had ideas for similar services. I can't really see myself paying money for an advanced note taking app. I think you'll have to add more value to be able to justify me paying for this.

It looks great. Very well done.
