Just click on which items you currently have in your fridge/pantry and they come up with recipes to match. Bloody brills IMO.

great idea but terribly executed. i ticked about 80% of the stuff listed (i keep a well stocked fridge / pantry

)

first suggestion was 'an apple on it's own' second was 'fried egg'

there's some dodgy food-court Turkish place in melb central that does AWESOME falafel.

I'm going to buy a blender and then try to make falafel at home.... Most recipes I've found look pretty crap, I reckon it's going ot be a trial an error deal.

FS is an untapped resource of good food and coffe places in Melbourne.

the food mostly comes down to my gal, she has a nose for such things.

Post by **breaksRbest** » Thu May 22, 2008 2:28 pm

had soem pretty average Turkish food last night (was mad keen for it after watching Food Safari)

dunno where Sam picked it up from, but they didn't have any felafel

and the Hommus tasted like chalk

Ides-GotFunk? · Post by **Ides-GotFunk?** » Thu May 22, 2008 2:58 pm

@bRb...
sydney rd turkish places are crapola.... apparently the new(ish) one on chapel street is meant to be good... the one at the wharf is a frikkin joke for the menu.... arghhh its very frustrating... honestly, ur better off going to Jims Tavern...
food safari was better for the scenery than the food

sorry to be neg

but thats how i roll on this topic after 25 years of eating in melbz... meet me on the Bosphorus on 2 Dec for the real safari!!!

Post by **breaksRbest** » Thu May 22, 2008 3:01 pm
