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".
he can even dynamically set the background based on the searched recipe. A query for a Thai dish should return in nice page with images of delicious thai dishes, of course, respecting the site's branding.
You can't really ask for premium memberships when the site doesn't do anything to "fence" the user in. I should feel like I'm in an exclusive place different from all others. Right now I have to engage my brain and tell myself "this is a recipe site, this is a recipe site, this is a recipe site ..."
What features are there aside from searching?
