Furture feature...Custom cookbooks?
What would you think of a custom cookbook feature? Using recipes you've chosen.
Users could choose to pay for custom books, which would be printed and bound in hard copy by food52.
The community could create their own books for their choices; like gluten free, veggie, holidays, or any theme they wish.
While I know the 52 IT staff has a lot on their plate now, it's a bluesky idea but I think it would fit the site as a 'crowdsourcing' community of homecooks.

People could submit their own selections of recipes..and others could browse them and order hard copy, or make their own.
Submitters with a popular collection could get 'points' to use to cash in for DLs in exchange for gifts, or site merchandise.
I found that 'my saved recipes' are starting to become a touchstone to refer too again and again. Having that in hard copy format for giving as gifts, or just having it in your hands would be great.
And I'd definitely give a 'book' culled for special needs such as gluten free, or vegan, to friends; as the food52 recipes, directions, and photos are the best on the web; IMHO.
Just something to consider for future development, so the DB of recipes don't get mired down in formatting that would make this idea more difficult after things settle down for all the stuff on your plate for the site at this time.
