The 'Shop By Category >' background should be the dark green, the light green doesn't really stand for anything and the dark green would make it stand out more. Also, you should change the orange rollover effect on the menu on the other pages, it's sort of hard to see the text. Other then that, looks great!
At first glance this looks great. Really nice, unique colour scheme. Nice graphic identity, good layout etc. The product photos are really good and I'm finding the shopping process to be very smooth.
On closer look I'm noticing a few little problems. One is the page headers here. They are running up against the green borders a little too much. They look crammed in. Also make sure youre capitalization is consistent (Recipe of the week s/b Recipe of the Week since Shop by Brand is capitalized. Shorter words do not need to be capitalized though (by not By). Also check your spelling!!! (recipe, not recipie). Sometimes the text can be hard to read, like the "featured products" text, or the headings on the inner pages (Accessories is in yellow text, which is hard to read against green).
Make sure your fonts are consistent too. The items under the shopping categories at the top are in a sans serif while the recipes down below are in a serif font. Use a stylesheet to keep that consistent.
As I browse around I'm seeing the width of the main table shifting from page to page. That needs to be consistent as well.
Overall this is a nice deisgn but there is a big lack of attention to detail which should be corrected.
