A new tour of the inner north

Today we have another in-the-background blog update for you. We've refined our 12-hour bucket list of things to do in the inner northern suburbs of Melbourne, with lots of new photos and a few new venues.

    great stuff - if I had a free day I would be quite happy to spend it this way though I would duck into the vegie bar for chocolate cake rather than eating gelati after all the wonderful street art but I am glad to see Smith and Daughters is your final destination. Maybe I will get there one night.

      Thanks Johanna! Yes, you really must book a spot at S&D when you get the chance. Brunch/lunch is more kid-friendly than dinner, if that helps.

      I did have brunch last year which I enjoyed but would love to do the evening meal which is more of a challenge for us!

January 18, 2008: Friday Featre Food - Lord of the Fries II

Image
In 2008, Michael and I are stepping into the unfamiliar world of high culture with a subscription to the Melbourne Theatre Company . Thus, on seven Fridays in the next ten months, we'll be hunting for delicious dinners around the CBD that we can gobble down before the curtains rise at 8pm. I'm clumsily dubbing this series of posts Friday Featre Food. We've got a few ideas for future meals but we're also keen for your recommendations - casual or classy, just be sure it's tasty and timely. First up, an old favourite with a new flavour: Lord of the Fries . They have a second outlet now at Shop 5 Flinders St Station, facing Federation Square. We picked up the $13.40 deal - an original regular-sized burger, a spicy regular-sized burger and a cone of chips. The night's sauce of choice? The Indian chutney/yoghurt mix. It was pleasant enough, but the Belgian mayonnaise holds a special place in my heart (or is that arteries?). We relaxed on the grassy south bank...

Choc-notella pudding

January 3, 2016 I couldn't stop thinking about Family Favourites . I would have loved to make a frozen chocolate crunch or shared around some mango coconut splice blocks , but they just wouldn't work at a picnic. Then I thought of nutella pudding . I didn't need to make more food at all, really, but I couldn't resist a go at veganising nutella pudding. This one goes in the style of British self-saucing puddings, with the nutella in the sauce and a typical cake batter plonked on top of it. I tracked down a jar of biona dark chocolate spread , which was a little less sweet than nutella and completely lacking in hazelnuts, but it did the vegan silky chocolate job perfectly. Dairy cream became coconut cream, buttermilk begat vinegar-spiked soy milk, butter was replaced with margarine, and I switched the eggs for apple puree (I'll go for a mashed banana instead, one day). For all those changes, it was the same pudding in every way that mattered. It's probably inten...

Menu for Hope

Helen over at Grab Your Fork is running the Asia-Pacific section of this year's Menu for Hope . Last year food bloggers around the world raised $17,000 for UNICEF. This year, the United Nations World Food Program will receive the proceeds of the campaign. The money is basically raised through a series of raffles with prizes donated by generous bloggers, restaurants and other food-related organisations. The list of prizes is over at Grab Your Fork , along with more details about the whole campaign.
