I’ve been reading a few best of 2011 lists (Sharking for Chips and Drinks has been putting out some pretty awesome lists you all should have a read of) and I think it’s time to create my own. So here it is – my list of some of the best places I ate out in … Continue reading
What do you do to ensure a city doesn’t run out of food? I threatened to post from time to time on vaguely food related urban planning and policy, and here is one such example: the just-released City of Melbourne food policy discussion paper. The time for submissions is past, but I find it interesting … Continue reading
Whew! How’s everyone going? Everything cooked for Christmas? I made this green beans in roasted tomato vinaigrette with some variations (might do a post about it later) to take to my family do, haven’t tasted it properly yet so not sure if it’s nice yet (thanks Curtis).

Unfortunately for G, I’m trying to perfect these little buggers because I want to give them to Mr Behemoth’s family as a Christmas present in lieu … Continue reading
As a long time voracious consumer of delicious food, and a greedy food blog reader, I guess it was only a matter of time before I moved on and up from some fairly short Urbanspoon reviews and gave blogging a go.
