Wow, exciting!! I don't think reviews need a separate template for now...
Ok sounds good, we can always separate them later if need be.
@eleniharlan here's a formatted (but not styled - just looking at the HTML structure for now) post for us to look at as an example http://kostaharlan.net/eleniharlan.net/blog/2014/03/09/imam-biyaldi/
Do you want "Ingredients" to be in a box off to the side?
cool! I think a box to the side would be good for the ingredients.
I was also thinking of some sort of set of 4 photos in a square to show the breakdown of steps, rather than putting them at random intervals within the recipe, if you see what I mean?

Would it always be a set of 4 photos, or would you sometimes have 1, 2 or 3?
@egardner might also have some creative ideas for displaying photos alongside the text (outside the main content region).
yeah i suppose it wouldn't always be 4, but that just seemed easiest in my head! Yeah, other ideas would be good!

I think a full-width cover-photo for posts could be a really nice feature. The image would need to be large (maybe 1800px wide, any height). We could even give them a fancy parallax treatment kind of like how the intro fades in/out here: http://ericgardner.info/hdts-2013/
But it could be done as something that's optional. So posts that have a "cover-photo" asset defined would trigger a nice full-width cover image, while posts that didn't have it would use a standardized layout.
I think good photography will really enhance the site and drive traffic.

Agreed. Note that there is currently a "splash" image field (https://github.com/kostajh/eleniharlan.net/blob/c90f92cff244afa88682947761bbfaf70d1efabd/_posts/2014-03-09-imam-biyaldi.md), I'm happy to rename that to whatever.
Splash is fine, or whatever makes sense to Eleni since she'll be writing the content. @eleniharlan, send over a link to your Flickr when it's up and maybe include any good generic images you think could work well on the site (images of a meal, table setting, or anything atmospheric in addition to illustrations of specific dishes).
On the jekyll side, I'm imagining something in the template like:
{% if page.splash %} // fancy cover-image layout {% else %} // normal intro layout {% endif %}

Yeah that sounds good and I think optional settings per post will be helpful too.
Good photography is something I need to work on!! I've been trying to improve but I'm basically pointing and shooting then trying to fiddle with the exposure and color on iPhoto.... Not great I know.
I will dig up some photos/try to take some over the coming weeks. Sorry!

Per #2, we will have one template post
with the option to categorize it as a recipe
(other categories TBD) and an ingredients
field.
@eleniharlan do you envision having a unique template for restaurant reviews, or should it share the same template with general blog posts / musings?
