    The search/hamburger menu/subscribe icons feel dated. I realise that the weight and rounded corners relate to the logo but I would make more minimal and modern.

    The width of the centre column feels too narrow on larger screens unless you're going for a nostalgic feel.

    I think you could use more contrast between the text sizes, either make the body copy smaller or the heading larger or both. I would flip the typefaces and make the serif the headline and the sans the body copy but that does get done a lot.

    The tags/folios could be smaller and maybe monospaced. Should be same padding on the top/left of them.

    Agree with the other comments above, also not really a fan of the get this, get that in the footer, get fucked?

    The full page menu doesn't make use of the full page, and the type style feels a bit default. I think it should either be more visual or more minimal.

    • Fair point about the text. Lots of variation since it's pulled form the CMS so its a slow massage.cannonball1978
    • The ingredients are all there, nice work.slappy
    • I actually liked the rounded thing. which width are you using? I'n on a 4k and the column feels smaller than 1200px wide.oey_oey
    • About 1000. I find it preserves gutters for cards on lowest denomination of mobile, preserves image aspect ratios without heavy server-side resizing.cannonball1978
    • I'm also keeping some side spacing to eventually illustrate some subtle page backgrounds so the illustrations feel "imbedded" in an illustrat-ey site typecannonball1978
