Absolutely!

Some of the icons are ones I've done (and I have no particular skill for
this), and some are ones other folks have been nice enough to do along the
way.

Creating improved icons would always be appreciated -- the worse that would
happen is we (which I guess is me, but I'd take input from anyone) would
reject them. Anything that was in line with the tango guidelines and given
to the project under the GPL would be a wonderful contribution. Also, if you
have specific ideas about what needs to improve, I'd be happy to see them on
the list for discussion -- generally, though, I'm pretty open to anything.

I personally like the metaphors of "recipe box", "recipe card" and "shopping
list"/"shopping cart", but I could be swayed by just about anything.

A longer term possibility would be to incorporate more icons to make the
interface more spiffy -- I could see default shopping categories (produce,
dairy, etc.) getting icons associated with them, for example.
