Thank you so much for considering this.
I have yet one more suggestion.
It would be very useful if, on the notes page, one could also see the rating that one gave to the recipe. For example, you might remember you made something excellent in a particular cookbook, gave it a 5-star ranking, but also made notes on a bunch of less excellent recipes. Having the star rating would allow the EYB user to quickly find that great recipe - without having to read each note.
