The Project Foodie team mixes foodies - people passionate about food - with techies - people immersed in technology. Together we strive to make the foodie lifestyle easier and more enjoyable for all.

Foodies

Foodie Pam:  Pam Thuman-Commike is the founder and Chief Foodie at Project Foodie.  She loves to cook, try new recipes and enjoy great food.  In the most recent past she was the Director of Research at QED Labs, a small biotech company that she founded.  Pam is a life long foodie who tired of losing track of recipes, searching for things to cook and seeking foodies to interact with. She founded Project Foodie to provide solutions for the daily problems foodies face.  Living in the heart of Silicon Valley with access to a vast array of gourmet restaurants, amazing wines, and fresh produce it's easy to allow food to consume you.  Of course, Silicon Valley also has an obsession with technology. Project Foodie is the perfect mix of the two.  Contact Foodie Pam: This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it
