    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!

August 23, 2016 Today we celebrate the 10th birthday of this here blog. We started where's the beef? in our first month of living in Melbourne and it's grown into an incredible document of our time in this city - it's threaded with the broadening acceptance and availability of vegetarian foods, the ebbs and flows of food trends, and our own evolving kitchen habits.

After that week we got much more sociable, participating in our first food blogger mee...

We're celebrating another blog millennium with some alterations to our site design - hope you like the new look! Actually, there's not much time to write as we're cooking all sorts of goodies for tomorrow's celebratory picnic . It'll be great to see some of you there. I can't imagine what our years in Melbourne, eating habits and circle of friends would be like if we hadn't set up where's the beef? . Thanks for your readership, your recommendations and your encouragement.

February 25, 2008: Soy bombs

My mind's been ticking over ever since Elly announced the Eat to the Beat! blog event . I love a theme, and I knew I could meld meals and music since I count Fiona Apple, Cake and Custard among my favourite music-makers. There are lots of songs out there likening loves to sweet treats, but Warrant's tune Sweet Cherry Pie really isn't to my taste. Ben Lee is more my style, but listening to the lyrics of Cigarettes Will Kill You, I couldn't fathom what he was suggesting I make! (Though clearly it was not to be served up with cake... listen for yourself using the player at the end of this post and tell me what you think is cooking.) Perhaps, like Talking Heads, I was destined to Stay Hungry. Then, channelling the Eels, Michael chipped in with "Whatever happened to soy bomb?" The lyrics of this song are rather bleak and not at all related to food, but I liked the idea of soy bombs for dinner. A google search for tofu balls turned up a pleasant-looking recip...
