Foodie.fm also learns the eating habits of its users to suggest recipes and grocery items that match the user’s “taste profile.” It can also keep in mind your personal preferences, like food allergies and budget restrictions. All in all, it’s a handier system than a separate shopping list, recipe book, and budgeting app, which is why it will likely do well in any market it opens up in.
While in Paris, Foodie.fm is also running a service for Le Web attendees called Le Foodie, an online concierge service to help attendees enjoy the best food experience while in Paris. It’s basically a Twitter food-question answering service with a parisian blogger, Lost in Cheeseland. If you’re at Le Web, you can tweet @foodie_fm with hashtag #lefoodie to get your own recommendations.
I, for one, hope that our Antti Vilpponen does not use this service, and eats only average food like the rest of the ArcticStartup staff that did not fly off to Paris. But maybe I’ll cook something nice tonight with a recipe recommendation from Foodie.fm
Foodie.FM is a part of the Finnish Vigo accelerators.
