the meatless blog meet
I’ve been fortunate to have broken bread with a few local food bloggers of late. What is not to like in a fellow home cook who feels passionate about legumes and other such wondrous things? Over summer Ed from Tomato and I had planned to arrange a North of the Yarra meet up, you know something simple like a picnic in the gardens. We blinked and now it is winter so there is a slight revision of plans.
With a bit of a genius twist on a debate Ed’s had about “foodies” (or rather “anti-foodies”) we’ve have devised a simple plan to catch up in a venue that epitomises the opposite of food snobbery. No chefs table here, nor fine wines or wagyu – this is the Meatless Blog Meet.
Date: Saturday 26th July
Time: 12.30
Place: Lentil as Anythings @ The Convent, Abbotsford and afterwards at Handsome Steve’s House of Refreshment.
For those unfamiliar with Lentil as Anything it is a unique not for profit community restaurant, where customers pay what they feel the food is worth. It is funny watching people come to grips with the concept the first time around, actually it shouldn’t be humorous to watch patrons become distressed at not being told what to pay – but it is. What is more, LAA supports refugees, new migrants, people with disabilities and the like with its non-discriminatory employment at its five sites.
Oh and it is also vegetarian.
So if you are free for some very pleasing food on the 26th of next month, or thinking of catching the Slow Food Market in July then let us know to keep an eye for you. If you are running late or just want a coffee, juice or beer - catch up around the corner and upstairs at Handsome Steve’s House of Refreshment, an equally quirky Convent establishment. Steve writes “You won't find eggs, 'cooked to your liking', skinny lattes, wraps, low fat muffins or light beer. It's S for Salt, F for Fat, S for Sugar, C for Caffeine and A for Alcohol. Now these foundation stones come in different shapes and sizes and may have never met, but they'll make you'll feel a lot happier than having a yo-yo biscuit for a friend.”.
All welcome (carnivores, partners, small creatures – or not, as you desire).
