I'm confused by this.
Pinterest content is fairly similar to ads. I recall something where the founder described it as digital magazine clippings--I figure that actual magazine clippings were more than likely originally promoting a product.
The way I'm imagining it, the ads could fit in very well. You say you're already using it as your cookbook. If a chicken pays to promote recipes involving chicken, this hasn't really effected your usage in a negative way.
If the execution is good, I'm not sure where the objection is coming from. Of course, the execution could be bad; but you seem to be implying that ads would be very negative either way.
