Hi Foodie!

I’d like to begin this month’s newsletter by thanking you for telling all of your friends and family about Project Foodie.  We are now ranked by Google and continue, nearly daily, to increase our traffic rankings on Alexa.  This growth in readership is due in no small part to you – our readers – Thank You!

As I’m sure you’ve noticed Project Foodie has also grown in content.  We now provide new recipes and articles everyday.  We’d love to hear from you about additional things you’d like to see on Project Foodie. Maybe you have a favorite restaurant recipe you’d like to see, maybe you are just dying to ask a Chef a question, or maybe you want one of our “From the…” articles to focus on a specific topic. Whatever it is just send me an email message ( This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it ) and let me know…

So just what have we been up to this past month at Project Foodie?  Well, in addition to providing you all of those interesting and appetizing recipes and food articles we’ve also added a couple of new features including:

Weekly Menu Archive: Did you miss what happened last week?  Now you can see the past with an archive of previous weekly menus.

Cookbook Spotlights: We now present a recipe from a different cookbook each Sunday. 

New “From the…” contributors:  This week Doris Hicks from the University of Delaware Sea Grant Marine Advisory Service joined us an additional Fishmonger contributor and next month we will have an additional Gardener and Butcher to provide you with even more interesting articles.

During the past week we have had a few technical problems that resulted in some pages displaying with an "Access Denied" message.  We believe we have fixed this, but if you get any "Access Denied" or other errors on any of the Project Foodie pages please This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it and let me know so we can correct them.

And as always please tell your friends all about Project Foodie!

Thanks - Foodie Pam

Hi Foodie!

As you probably know, Project Foodie began last fall and has quickly grown. With the start of the New Year we thought it would be a good time for a newsletter and to introduce ourselves. Initially we’ve subscribed everyone but don’t worry, you can unsubscribe below.

In this first newsletter, we’d like to recap the debut of Project Foodie and provide a look into upcoming weeks. Over the past couple of months we've been providing new articles and features most days including:

“From the …” articles: We now have 10 different contributors providing informative and entertaining articles about cheese, coffee, fish, herbs & vegetables, meat, nutrition, seasonings, tea, and wine. “From the …” articles appear every Monday and Wednesday along with two Fridays each month.

Recipe Spotlights: We’ve been busily gathering amazing new recipes from Chefs at restaurants, wineries, and bed & breakfasts throughout the country for your culinary pleasure. We now have new spotlights every Tuesday and Thursday and we’re working towards expanding to Saturday and Sundays.

Project Foodie Blog: Experience the joys (and frustrations) of the Foodie lifestyle with Foodie Pam.

Recipe Index: The recipes available on Project Foodie are quickly growing and we now have an index of all of the recipes available on the site.

We also have several new things for January including:

Weekly menu: A sneak-peak at what recipes and articles will be appearing each week.

Cookbook Spotlights: Starting in mid-January we’ll be presenting recipes from a variety of cookbooks.

A New Foodie: The Project Foodie team has grown with the addition Foodie Margaret. Let’s all wish Margaret a warm welcome!

Let us know of any Restaurants you'd like to see us spotlight, topics for our "From the..." series, or other new content that you'd like to see. Also, tell your friends all about Project Foodie!
