Totally new design, new colors, new code, new css, new everything.

Again, don't mind the content, it's just filling (no pun intended).

Fire away.

Now my friend, you are on your way! This is much better. The colors suite the site. I like it. I have a suggestion though, you can make use of that wheat bg you had by using it as some sort of a header image. This is kinda cool but you don't need the animation. Just to have some image.

The color scheme is pretty good. I'm really digging the bg for the content area. Play around with the color for the dropcaps, the red is kinda not going with the rest of the colors.

I'm impressed, your attitude has allowed you to take positive feedback and push you to a new level.

What does your client have to say? What about that baby pic?

Perhaps a bit more space between the header and background on top (not too much)
I don't really like the roll-overs, why not just text links?
All the rest looks a-ok espcially the font for the menus

Very nice site, personally, I like this better than the red background. Makes it much easier on the eye. The only thing I might look at would be the menu under products. Try changing that to the same color as the content under News. Maybe try some other fonts too.

Also, I am using firefox and your copyright seems to be out of place on my browser. It is in the far left under News. I would try centering that, so it is in the white space and not under News.

Anyway, those are just my suggestions. The rest looks awesome.

He hasn't seen it yet, I intend to present both schemes this time and hint that the latter is better.

The 2nd one is much better!

The full page background doesn't really do the rest of the site justice.

A few extra images representing the actual ingredients would improve the site.

I find the text in the left column does not have enough contrast against the background - consider tweaking the colours a little bit to get a greater contrast and making the text easier to read. The copyright is especially difficult to read, and almost looks like you are tryingto hide it!

Well, I just got off the phone with the client and he insists on the first version (with the red background and the baby), just as I predicted.
I told him that I (and the majority of people I asked) preferred the 2nd version, but he didn't seem to care a lot.

Sometimes the client is a fool, even though he's always right.

Just a personal thing - not too keen on the font as is. Hard to explain, but it has quite an air of, how to say, trying a bit too hard.

Otherwise looks very good/professional.

I like this site a lot, i think it is simple and the colores suit the subject very well, I would even go as far as to say this site is perfect for the subject

Well I guess sometimes you will find yourself in a situation like that. DO your part and advise him that it is definitely a bad decision. If he yet insists, he is the boss! finish it up and exclude it from your portfolio. I would!
