That's what I want to do. I wasn't sure that Wordpress would allow that. But also running ads seems tricky.

Wordpress could handle the user submitted in the form of a basic article. Allow guest posting (moderating the articles of course) or perhaps allow sign up and give members posting rights.

It's not ideal, but it workable. Submitting a basic Wordpress article with UL/OL for the ingredients, an image is of course possible to show what the dish looks like (if you are a 5 star chef ) and then of course the basic article allows writing of the methods, times etc.

So the image with the ingredients perhaps floated left or right of the image, then below it the methods, times etc.

It can be done, and could be quite smart, but is by no means precise to your requirements if you are wanting something specific.

So you want users to submit their own recipes in addition to your own?
Yep.

I have my doubts about it too. I played around with a few other CMS packages and Drupal seems like the only one set to do it, but there is the learning curve. I guess I need to bite the bullet.

So you want users to submit their own recipes in addition to your own? In that case I would probably go with Drupal. Actually, I would probably go with Drupal anyway, mainly because of the potential for further expansion. If there's too much of a learning curve there for you then Wordpress might do, although I'm not sure if/how it would handle user submitted content...
