I imagine it as a big list of personal recipe box websites.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>aimor</author><text>Actually I enjoyed the videos I watched. I&amp;#x27;d say your site is spot on: one person&amp;#x27;s collection of recipes they like to make.&lt;p&gt;My suggestion is to add a concise index. I didn&amp;#x27;t like browsing the paginated images.&lt;p&gt;Unrelated to your site, what I find most difficult with my own collection is resisting the urge to add new recipes. I want to be able to pick any recipe from my box and know that I think it&amp;#x27;s absolutely delicious. Of course everyone has different goals, that&amp;#x27;s part of the charm of personal collections.</text></comment>

I don&amp;#x27;t know how to cook good healthy meals, but I want to learn how (especially cheaply if I can).</text></comment>
